About the Aeronca 7AC
The Aeronca 7AC Champion is a classic two-seat, tandem-configuration tailwheel aircraft from the late 1940s. Burning just 4 gallons per hour, the Champ is one of the most economical aircraft to fly. Its simple tube-and-fabric construction, basic instruments, and gentle handling characteristics represent the essence of grassroots general aviation.
Variable hourly costs average around $60, with annual fixed costs near $8,000, making it one of the cheapest aircraft to own. The Champ appeals to pilots who love classic flying, tailwheel training, and the pure joy of low-and-slow flight over the countryside. It is a fixture at grass strip fly-ins and vintage aircraft events.
Produced 1946.
