1979 American Champion Citabria 7GCBCSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Cleveland, MS, USA

This 1979 Bellanca Citabria 7GCBC, registration N5047T, is a 150-horsepower taildragger based at Cleveland, Mississippi (KRNV), and represents a compelling option for a buyer seeking a recently reworked airframe and engine combination. The airframe shows 3,365 total hours. Notably, the aircraft experienced a propeller strike on July 13, 2026, after which the Lycoming O-320-A2D engine was overhauled by Poplar Grove Airmotive and a new propeller installed. That engine now shows just 3 hours since major overhaul against a 2,000-hour TBO, and the new Sensenich 74DM6S8-1-56 propeller shows 3 hours since new. The seller indicates no damage history...
