This 1946 Aeronca 11 BC Super Chief (C-FDUT) presents as a well-maintained vintage aircraft with 5,789.2 total hours on the airframe. The Continental C85-12F engine shows 598.5 hours since major overhaul, with the conversion to this engine configuration completed in May 1953. Recent maintenance includes a July 2023 annual inspection that encompassed significant refurbishments: complete fuselage and tail feathers fabric replacement using Superflite materials, new Stewart System paint in royal blue metallic and federal yellow, new windshield and side windows, fuel system plumbing, headliner, and interior refurbishment.

The aircraft features several notable upgrades including an MGL ASX 2 digital airspeed/altitude indicator, Becker AF4201 radio, Sigtronics intercom, and an ACK E-04 406 ELT installed in March 2024. The wing fabric, originally covered with Stits Poly-Fibre in 2010, remains serviceable with no signs of rot or ringworm. Operational features include mechanical pedal heel brakes, a Maule locking tailwheel, and 600-6 Goodyear tires. The wood spars are serviceable under AD 2000-25-02R1 with annual inspections. With a useful load of 330.9 lbs and 23 gallons of fuel capacity split between main and auxiliary tanks, this VFR-configured aircraft comes with comprehensive documentation including logs for airframe, engine, propeller, and modifications.
