2000 7GCAA Owners Manual

Where can I get an Owners Manual? Always like to buy one for what ever I'm flying. I do have a call in to ATP.com

Why not ACA?

Why not ACA?

that would be my suggestion, especially since it's an ACA airframe.

ACA doesn’t provide them anymore. They refer you to ATP
At least that’s what I’m reading on the ACA website
I’m sure if you bought a new aircraft it wouldn’t be an issue

Have you called around to the salvage yards? They might keep on hand what they pull from the planes they part out. Maybe?

You need an AFM to be legal for flight, unless the GCAA is on the original Aeronca type certificate.

Mostly for older taildraggers, a xerox copy is good enough, but it needs to look like your N- number and a valid signature was on the original.

I think Univair prints handbooks. I have Citabria and Decathlon Service manuals from Univair - nicely reproduced.

I'm assuming you mean you want to have one at home to read, and that the airplane you are flying has one. If you google, you can find a GCAA manual on the internet in PDF form. There is not much to the factory ACA manual.

I would suggest looking instead for the Bellanca Pilot Proficiency Manual. It's a wonderful book put together in the 1970s which covers all aspects of flying Citabrias and Decathlons.
