About the American Champion 7ECA
The American Champion 7ECA Citabria is the approachable tailwheel and basic aerobatic Citabria for buyers who want stick-and-rudder training, sport flying, and light aerobatic capability without Decathlon-level ambition. It is not a high-performance aerobatic machine; it is valued for training utility, simple systems, and fabric-aircraft character. Compared with the 8KCAB Decathlon, the 7ECA is the more basic and lower-intensity choice.
Produced 1968.
