About the Globe GC-1 Swift

The American Champion 7GCBC Citabria is a two-seat, high-wing taildragger that has been the backbone of American aerobatic training and backcountry flying since the 1960s. Built by American Champion Aircraft in Rochester, Wisconsin, the Citabria ("airbatic" spelled backward) evolved from the Aeronca Champ lineage and remains in production today, prized for its rugged steel-tube fuselage, fabric covering, and forgiving handling characteristics. Powered by a 150-horsepower Lycoming O-320 engine, the 7GCBC variant adds a constant-speed propeller and extended fuel capacity, making it equally at home practicing loops and spins over a grass strip or hauling gear into remote mountain valleys.

With a maximum takeoff weight of just 1,800 pounds and a stall speed below 45 knots in landing configuration, the Citabria operates comfortably from short, unimproved strips that would challenge most tricycle-gear aircraft. Its +5/-2G aerobatic certification and docile stall behavior make it a favorite among tailwheel instructors and sport pilots, while its tandem seating and excellent visibility appeal to backcountry adventurers. The type's simplicity (no electrical system required, hand-propping possible, minimal avionics) keeps operating costs low and maintenance straightforward, contributing to its enduring popularity in the general aviation fleet.
