They are rare these days, but a fun airplane. A little tight in the back seat, they were built when people were "smaller" than they are today. The plane is rugged, performs well on short/rough fields. It's comparable to the Stinson 108 series. The Stinson does have more options though, a few different engine STC's really upgrade the performance.

I've never heard a bad thing about the 15AC.
And just for the record, it's Aeronca
A contraction for Aeronautical Corporation of America.
They're still in business. They build the exhaust shrouds for the RB211's on the 757's I fly. And some other stuff too.

I think they're neat. They were on my shopping list. Burl's owns the TC and has lots of parts on his web site along with plans to build new. A 15AC with an O360 and CS prop would be extra neat. Not a lot of them running around.
Ultimately ended up with a Pacer. Does the same or more with the huge Piper ecosystem to support it.

With an O-360 it's a real performer.
and 880 lbs useful load.
