Overview
Designed as an answer to Piper’s J-3 Cub, the Aeronca 7AC Champion has been winning the hearts of pilots since 1944. Its honest, easy-going flight characteristics just seem to have a way of soothing the nerves and restoring the soul of everyone who flies it.
Now modelers can experience the Champ’s winning ways in stunning scale detail with the E-flite® Aeronca Champ 15e. In addition to its near-perfect scale outline, this Platinum Series ARF comes out of the box with many other details, most of which have been completed for you. Some of these include a classic Champ trim scheme, instrument panel details, a painted fiberglass cowl with simulated exhausts and scale shock absorbing landing gear. E-flite has even gone so far as to construct the airframe as close as possible to the
full-scale version. If you love general aviation classics, but don’t really feel like spending a lot of time building one, the E-flite Aeronca Champ 15e is just the scale stick-and-rudder fix you’ve been waiting for.
