Hello all,

(I'm not sure if this is the right forum section for intros, so I'll move if needed!)

I've been a Vintage Aircraft Association member for a year now. I own a 1940 Aeronca Chief that I'm slowly nursing back to health. It was flyable and passed a few annuals but wasn't flown much by the previous owner (average 5 hours per year).

Of course I bought it to fly, so I've averaged 60+ in it the past two years. I haven't flown much this summer due to a recent job change, move, and engine issues (nuisance oil leaks). I figured the old, dried-out gaskets were giving way so it was time to pull and replace.

Most of the saga is on my blog: http://flightmusings.blogspot.com/

I look forward to posting, reading, and getting to know my fellow fanatics!

Dan
