Aeronca 7AC Champ

Hi all, I've been looking for an Aeronca 7AC Champ for FSX but can't seem to find one anywhere. I did run across an old youtube video of one being flown in FSX, but like I said, I can't find one for download anywhere. Does anyone know where I could find this plane?

I don't know of a good one for FSX, but I did find a good one for FS9. I don't remember how compatible it is with FSX, but it's worth a try:

I originally downloaded this back when I was flying a real 7AC Champ, and it is spot on. As close to the real thing as you can get in flight sim.

Ah yes, I have that one for FS9 and you are right it is nearly perfect. I got to fly a real champ once and fell in love with it. Anyway, I just wanted to see if there was one made for FSX before I tried using this one. In all of my searching I found a youtube video of a Champ being flown in FSX, but the description didn't say where it came from. I'm wondering if it isn't the one for FS9 that we are talking about.

You might like the Aeronca Chief which according to the write-up on it, was developed as a side by side version of the Champ in 1945. It looks very similar to the Champ and this one is for FSX. It's on page 26 of FSX Props. Last one on page.
Just an idea. ;)
