Restoring a Family Legacy | Todd’s 1946 Luscombe 8A Aircraft Review

In today’s video on    / @codybuilds  , I take a closer look at my brother-in-law Todd’s newest project—a 1947 Luscombe 8A with an incredible family story behind it. This classic aircraft isn’t just another vintage plane; it once belonged to Todd’s late father, and Todd even sat in this exact cockpit as a 2-year-old kid. Now, decades later, he’s bringing it home again. Todd walks us through how he reacquired this sentimental aircraft, the unique features that make the Luscombe 8A such an iconic classic, and his plans to restore it and get it safely back in the air. From its lightweight aluminum construction to its simple, honest flying characteristics, this little plane represents both aviation history and meaningful family ties. If you enjoy restorations, classic aviation, project builds, or heartfelt stories tied to vintage machines, this video is for you. ⸻ 🔧 What’s Inside the Video: • The emotional story of how Todd tracked down and bought back his dad’s Luscombe 8A • A full walk-around of the aircraft’s current condition • Unique design features of the 1947 Luscombe 8A • Todd’s restoration plans and what it will take to get the plane flying again • A glimpse into why this project means so much to him
