Ran across what may be a pretty good deal on one but I know nothing about them other then the general history and that the wings fold. After a bit of googling I've not found much so I have some questions for this group:

What should I look for regarding potential problems with this particular model? It is not a Speedwing.

What options, if any, are considered desirable?

How does it compare to an Aeronca Chief with regard to tail wheel manners?

I'm at 5000'+ and will mostly fly solo but have no idea how it might perform on a hot day dual? The owner of the plane has never flown it here.

Any recommendations on a good owners forum for this type where I might be able to gather more information?
