Does anyone know who brought the Breezy built with Champ wings to OSH14? I am considering building a Breezy for a chapter project and we have a set of Champ wings and tailfeathers. I'd like to ask him about his building and flying experience with it. Thanks In Advance
Good luck getting it signed off ,te FAA changed there policy on that a while back and do not want you to use certified parts on an experimental. , now if you built those wings from scratch or from a kit like wag aero cub wings that would not be a problem , but already done wings will not fit the 51 percent ruleQuote:

That's basically the same guidance you'll get from the FSDO.
Good News! I ran our build concept, using built but uncovered Aeronca Champ wings and tail feathers thru the AC20-27G Appendix 8 Checklist. It came up as 56.1% Builder contribution. I'll be going over it a few more times, using the evaluation guidelines in the "Amateur-Built Fabrication and Assembly Checklist (2009) Job Aid" as a guide. Thank you all for the input so far.
Fast Eddie did your project ever come to fruition? I'm considering the same thing. Thanks
