Aeronca Chief?
Sometimes the most fun way to get into the backcountry, Part 103 Ultralights and Light Sport Aircraft have their own considerations.

Bet it still flys a lot like a taildragger.
You know... There's no excuse for the little wheel to ever be up front...BUT... That Stinson doesn't look TOO Island-of-Dr-Moreau like so many tricycle conversions do.
Ok, what's next?
I dont know..does not look too bad. Is there a STC for this?

The Chief is 20 ft 10 in in length where the Champ is 21 ft 6 in... The Chief's wing by the way is 36 ft where the Champ is 35 ft 2 in... Would that make much if any difference??
The Champ/Chief share many of the same parts & pieces, including the wings. The diff in width would be the wider cabin in a Chief, also the reason the Chief doesn't have that cute middle age pot belly hanging down
