1974 Bellanca Citabria 7ECA

If you want to go fast, fly through clouds and take the family... You're going to need a different plane.

Here's what the Citabria will do, and why I love it.

  • comfortable speed range: 60 - 120 mph
  • stall speed: ~50 mph
  • rate of climb: 500 fpm fully loaded
  • fully loaded: two people, camping gear, 3 hours of gas
  • burn rate: 7 gph max, 6 gph typ
  • great visibility
  • super easy to fly
  • forgives many mistakes
  • easy to land on little grass strips
  • relatively inexpensive to purchase and maintain
  • factory support
