This 1946 Aeronca Champ 7AC is a great flying aircraft with 4,100 total airframe hours and 480 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) on the Continental O-200 engine. The engine, overhauled and installed in 2007, maintains compressions over 71.
Equipped with two wing tanks (5.5 gallons each) and a 13-gallon main tank, the aircraft has 23 gallons usable fuel, providing approximately 4 hours of range at 100 mph. It features 8.50×6 main wheels for smooth desert operation, a Scott 3200 tailwheel, and an extra set of 6×6 wheels. Additional equipment includes a Skytech lightweight electric starter with a battery, an intercom box, and a shoulder harness STC (parts included but not installed).
The aircraft was last recovered in 1983 with Poly Fiber Stits fabric, which remains in fair condition. It has tandem heel cable drum brakes and comes with wing and fuselage covers. The most recent annual was completed in January 2024.
Well-maintained and ready to fly, this classic taildragger is available for $35,000. Serious inquiries only.
