Beavers, Otters, Cessnas, even a Grumman Widgeon (?).

There is another episode from Season 1 where one of the sons (Clay?) learns how to fly and they purchase a somewhat ragged-out Aeronca Sedan for use at the family’s airstrip. After a few flights (with an oil leak, no less) they find the elevator tubing is rusted through and they recover the controls with the help of an A&P friend in Anchorage.
But after that, there was no mention of any more flying or of the Aeronca; I wonder what happened? Anybody know?
