Back in the early fifties I remember seeing a single row of Aeronca Champions stacked nose down along a hangar wall with each propeller resting in an old tire on the floor. The tailwheels were up against the hangar wall and the main wheels were not chocked. I don=99t know whether the fuel was drained, but am pretty sure the oil was still in the tank. I didn=99t know it at the time, but later (in 1953) one of those Champs became the first airplane I ever owned.Stacking was an effective way to free up floor space and still could be, provided the ceiling is high enough. Basically, stacking is for storage; it probably isn=99t practical for airplanes in frequent use.Cheers,Graham Hansen (Alberta, Canada)

Pretty cool! It would definitely get the attention of passers-by! If you havea Continental, just looking at the photos and the angle of the engine, I don'tsee how much of the oil would get out of the kidney tank into the crankcase,and even if it did, I don't see how it would be up into the main seal. Fuelwould definitely be a problem with my airplane if there was more than about 3/4tank in it.It seems like it would be a cinch to hoist the tail from a pulley, and tying offthe rope would hold the airplane securely in that position. My airplane startsto want to go onto its nose once I raise the tail much past straight and level,so I would sure want a cushion or rubber tire right where the prop was goingto touch the floor.Now that I see that, I'm thinking I may just try it out this winter!--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: ForeFlight: 2GA9 9A5 M54 I91 C16 C77 C37

Looks good to me.Can we get into c16 (near Champagne IL) without a transponder? I ain't got one...Also don't really have a radio (might have it installed by then, just don't know),so Owensboro class D is a very slight glitch. Assuming we're planning an overnight somewhere. c16 is a reasonable choice andis easy access to interstates for the chase vehicle. Never been to any of them, which makes it more fun!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: ForeFlight: 2GA9 9A5 M54 I91 C16 C77 C37

And it looks like we'll need gas in Boonville works alright with the interstatesystem as well.Can't see a reason not to go this way!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
