What is Aeronca C-3?
The '''Aeronca C-3''' is a light aircraft built by [[Aeronca]] from 1931 to 1937. The aircraft was thought to be easy to fly, easy to train on, and cheap to operate, leading to widespread success. Aeronica stopped building the C-3 in 1937 because the design did not meet new government safety rules.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Aeronca C3 – Wings Of History Air Museum|url=https://www.wingsofhistory.org/aeronca-c3/|access-date=2024-04-09|language=en-US}}</ref> [[File:Aeronca C-3 RSC.jpg|thumb|Aeronca C-3]] == Variants == ; C-3 ; '''C-3 Master''' ; Aeronca 100 ; Aeronca 300 ; Ely 700 == Surviving aircraft == * A-125 – C-3 on display at the Western North Carolina Air Museum in [[Hendersonville, North Carolina|Hendersonville]], [[North Carolina]]. * A-189 – C-3 airworthy at the [[Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum]] in [[Hood River, Oregon|Hood River]], [[Oregon]].
