I have a friend who has done the same thing with, I think, the same airplane. He has since moved on to a (forgive me if my spelling is wrong etc.) a Christian Eagle and then after that to a Pitt's Special. Haven't talked to him for a bit so I don't know if he still has his share of the Pitt's or not. I know he has also done some stints as a bush pilot up north and I think as a crop duster here fairly locally. He is early 50's now so may be starting to move away from all that. However, he did buy a big Harley last summer so who knows.

I flew one primarily to tow sailplane students - absolutely the most exciting flying I've ever done. Definitely more exciting than flying the Citabria up-side-down even. The original Champ was designed for 65 HP. The Citabria is quite a performer with 150 HP. (Compared to everything else I flew - all little planes). --
