About the 7KCAB Citabria

The Bellanca 7KCAB is a single-engine, two-seat fixed-gear aircraft built in the United States. Designed with tandem seating, a welded metal tube fuselage, and strut-braced fabric-covered wings, it suits flight training, personal flying, utility tasks, and aerobatic routines due to its structural capability to withstand high positive and negative loads.

Originally developed by Champion Aircraft as part of a long-running lineage of tailwheel airplanes, the design later passed to Bellanca Aircraft Corporation and subsequently to American Champion Aircraft Corporation. Over the decades, various suffixes identified distinct engine and performance configurations. The type has served extensively as a bush plane, glider tow vehicle, and trainer.
