American Champion 7ECA Aircraft under $100,000
Under $100k for a piston single is the value-entry price band — typically older airframes (1960s-80s), mid-life or run-out engines, original or basic avionics with retrofit ADS-B Out compliance. These are entry-budget trainers and touring singles. Budget realistically for engine work, ADS-B Out compliance if not yet installed, panel upgrades and corrosion-area inspection.
← American Champion Citabria family
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.
