1962 Champion 7GCB
From the seller
1962 Champion Challenger 7GCB, certified on floats. A straightforward first floatplane, or a recreational bush aircraft for someone who wants to get into short strips and small lakes without taking on a project. Ready for the season — annual inspection valid to August 2027. Short-field performance is good for the type: flaps and the 150 hp Lycoming get it off the water quickly. The fabric on the fuselage and wings was completely redone in 2015. Logbooks and maintenance history are complete from the factory in 1962 — nothing missing.
