Unless you are an A&P with AI or know one that will sign off your work, this is not an E/AB. The 7AC is a certified aircraft.

This really doens't belong on a Homebuilders web site.

No problem with it for sale here.

Completely agree. Its a soulful rag and tube airplane that can be aquired and maintained by the average joe for a reasonable cost.

Oh, and unlike 90% of the content on this "homebuilt" site lately, it ACTUALLY EXISTS!

 

[Mark Keiper]

LOL. Yeah Ditto. Cool little plane.
IA. Inspection authorization.

 

[Bellaire MK]

The Champ is quite a bit less demanding to restore compared to a Piper J-3, has better performance and cost is less for the restoration. You can restore this aircraft and apply for an AP rating and do your own inspections. It's not that
big of a deal. You would still have to work under the direction of an IA. for inspections over the duration of the rebuild.
The information is in FAR/AIM, unless the Feds have changed their rule.

Can you explain your thoughts on this? Seems like both are dirt simple.

 

[Bellaire MK]

It about the parts count. The Champ was designed production.

Yeah, but you need a carpenter for the Champ.

There are a few pieces of wood on the fuse but not that labor intensive. This airframe can also be built as the L-16 version and would be a great observation platform.

 

[BJC]

Lots more than a Cub, but I like the Champ better.

A 7AC was my first airplane, it is a honest little plane. Hand prop, heel brakes, stick control, brakes are cable controlled (stock) and I had to re-adjust them after nearly every flight with my instructor (he used them a lot) but I could get several flights between adjustments solo and after getting better with the plane. I always wanted to convert to hydraulic brakes.

Is there a "reply of the week" posts? Put this one in there.

Indeed, every cable/mechanical brakes I've flown I always wanted to convert to hydraulic brakes.

All the Champs that I flew would turn, on the ground, fairly good in one direction.
