Seller reportedDescription
2004 American Champion 7GCBC Beautiful one-of-a-kind 7GCBC. The aircraft was completely restored in 2023 after a hangar door fell on it during a storm. The airframe was professionally repaired and recovered with a paint scheme based on the new American Champion Decathlon design. This airplane has been upgraded to Scout gear which gives it incredible prop clearance. Great backcountry airplane that's ready for its new owner. Lots of recent maintenance, this plane needs nothing. Bring your mechanic for a pre-buy and fly it home. Trades Welcome! Logs available on our website.
