1946 Aeronca 7 Champion ACSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1946 Aeronca 7 Champion AC (N82050) presents as a well-maintained classic with recent mechanical investments, qualifying as a Light Sport Aircraft. The airframe shows 6,127 total hours with a Continental C-85-12 engine showing just 258 hours since major overhaul (eligible for 2,000-hour TBO) and a Sensenich propeller with only 204 hours since new. Notable upgrades include rebuilt landing gear, metal wings installed in 2002, vortex generators, and an electric starter system, with all ADs currently complied. The carburetor received an overhaul in 2019 along with new slick magnetos that same year.

The aircraft has been hangared and flown regularly for the past decade, with condition assessments rating both interior and exterior at 8/10. Avionics are limited to a handheld radio, maintaining the aircraft's simple VFR configuration. Documentation is complete with all logs available since new, enhancing its provenance. With its 85hp engine and two-seat configuration, this Champ offers straightforward utility for recreational flying while benefiting from recent mechanical attention to critical components.
