Hi all,

Im a CFI by day and charter pilot by night in the North Central West Virginia area. Home based at 4G7 and AFJ respectively. I’m on the hunt for a 7 series Citabria to train and play in. Any help on this venture is greatly appreciated!

Stick around. You just missed one.

Welcome Tyler - Yes you just missed one but some of the best aircraft seem to sell on the forums that never make it to Barnstormers. Just one more reason to spend my time here. Are you teaching in a tail wheel as well?

Ah man! It’s not the first I’ve missed. At this point, it’s been more than a couple.
And yes, it was poorly worded in my original post, but my ultimate goal was to teach tailwheel and upset recovery training in the plane I intend to buy.

Welcome @LTLucas !

There is a 7ECA for sale in NJ, fresh paint/fabric, 1200 hr engine, Milman metal spar wings. I'll ask him to post a classifieds ad here.

Bartman, thanks for the lead! I talked with Abbas for 15 minutes. Sadly, the plane was out of my measly budget. Nonetheless, the search continues. Thanks again.

Finally found one! After many months of searching, I was approached by a local A&P to partner on a 76’ 7KCAB! Needless to say, I’ll be asking tons of questions about the old girl. She needed some love as she has sat for a few years.

Hi Tyler, congrats on the new airplane and especially for that sexy scalloped paint job! is it factory original?

have fun with it!

 

[LTLucas]

Thank you! There are a few places the paint has some cracking. I haven’t checked the sub forums yet to see if it’s been brought up. It is not the original paint.
