Great day for taking photos at Sky Manor (N40) on Saturday.. that's where this series of threads comes from.

Sorry for quality loss on this one. Had to dumb it down a lot.

Nice one James. It's an Aeronca 7AC Champion, better known as the Champ. The production rights were sold to the Champion Aircraft Company in 1951. In September 1970 Bellanca acquired the assets of the Champion Aircraft Company and elected to return the Champion to production as the 7ACA Champ.
