2008 American Champion 7-GcbcSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Manassas, VA, USA

This is a remarkably low-time 2008 American Champion 7-GCBC Explorer, with only 453 hours on the airframe since new. The aircraft is currently undergoing a significant engine event, with four new cylinders being installed and a 500-hour magneto inspection in progress, providing peace of mind for the next owner. The Lycoming O-320-B2B engine and Sensenich propeller both share the same low total time.

The panel has been upgraded with dual Garmin G5s, a Garmin Aera 660, a GTX 345 transponder providing both ADS-B In and Out, and a JPI EDM-700 engine monitor. The seats were refurbished in 2025 with new leather and foam. Recent compression checks...
