News: Champ and Taylorcraft are back!

Feb 23 2013

Hi AeroDynamic Aviators

Both the Champ and Taylorcraft are back on line.

The Champ has had a new radio and intercom installation to replace the one that kept breaking down.

The Taylorcraft has merely been waiting for better weather and its annual inspection.

Where else can you fly a 1945 or 1946 airplane, with a manual “armstrong” starter system, just like your grandfather might have learned to fly in?

They definitely are an acquired taste, but they will help you hone your stick and rudder skills like no other plane.

I have test flown both and they are ready for you!
