Aeronca C3 Master -

I Like It...a Historical Plane..from a different time and era!...“flying by the seat of your pants”. The C3 is also responsible for making private aviation affordable. It was the first really successful light plane on the market. Fuel economy was also affordable at 20 miles per gallon. Getting this aircraft in and out of small fields is easy with a 70 foot takeoff roll, 35 mph landing speed and a 12,000 foot ceiling. a BACK YARD PLANE!!..Again and Again The Boys at GAS take us back to yesteryear...with Models Of museum Quality,.And re- Introducing all to the wonders of Early Aviation...Thnx guys Great Job!!
 
I take the little C3 up for some sightseeing along the island and make a very bouncy landing (counts as three landings I think).

I quite like the idle sound. Sounds like a sewing machine.


(Yes, I know I'm giving this plane a hard time. I'm going to make up for it by taking it on a circuit and posting screenshots, pinky promise!)
