About the Bellanca 7GCAA Citabria

The Bellanca Citabria (later built by American Champion Aircraft) is a two-seat, tandem-seating, high-wing monoplane famous for its aerobatic capability (Citabria is ‘Airbatic’ spelled backwards). The 7GCAA variant is typically powered by a 150-160 hp Lycoming engine, offering strong climb performance for its class. The aircraft is a popular tailwheel trainer and recreational aircraft, providing excellent control authority, a moderate cruise speed (around 110 knots), and a solid useful load for a tandem two-seater. Its short-field performance and aerobatic certification make it a versatile and fun airplane for General Aviation.
