I had to rebuild my brakes on my 73 GCBC and could not find the o-ring numbers anywhere including A.C.A. because the Gerdes went out of business, they are model A110-10. I finally found the numbers. Rainbow will sell you a 4 o-ring kit for $10 or you can order them individuallly for 45-90...

The famous engineer rick Schneider(ski's and wheels), is considering building and STCing a new one piece aluminum scout length gear for spring gear citabrias. The price would be about 5 grand with at least 10 orders and possibly cheaper with more initial buyers to pay for tooling. If anyone...

Got my 8241 prop installed and approved, trying to figure out what the perfomance difference was with my 8040. 73 7GCBC 160 hp

Was wondering if it is possible to increase the legal 1650 gross on a 7GCBC without buying new factory wings. I have every mod to make my plane go anywhere off field an average cub can go, but I have no legal load. FSDO, does not take it likely when your over weight, trust me. I have added 8...

Was wondering if all the citabria seats are interchangable, I know a 7 EC seat will bolt into my 7GCBC, but would a 8GCBC quick release seat bolt into it the same? Terry

Today I was out messing with tire pressures in my ABW 31'ers and after 30 minutes. I got ready for another take off, Got on brakes, and ran RPM's up to 2500 and the pushed the stick forward to get 2550 and bring the tail up, I then went to neutral stick and let off the brakes, started to roll...

Well, all I'm off to Valdez next weekend to represent Citabria's in my 7GCBC in the STOL competion(did pretty good last year). Got my double puck brakes installed tonight, so hoping to cut my landing by a little bit, last year my best landing was 220 feet with landing about 35-40 feet past the...

Just wondering what mod's people have on their 7 GCBC's. I've seen some I dont have and they are: 1. A X brace like in the top of the fuselage like a cub 2. Removal of the aluminum gap seals on bottom of wings in front of ailerons(not to sure about this one). 3. Carl Bohns, Super cub style...

Was wondering if anyone had a scout or anything else with steel gear and switched to the aluminum gear. I know it weights less, but does it bend easier and or bounce more. Terry

Valdez STOL, my 1346 pound 7GCBC and my heavy butt at 240, competing against 1150 pound and less cubs. About 1 min 38 seconds in. Next year I should have doublepuck brakes and 31" bush wheels, and land about 30 feet closer to the line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aslLu3u710

Hi all, Im always trying to improve my takeoff and landing performance in my 1973 7GCBC. At Valdez this weekend my takeoffs was consistant at 170 feet, and my landing was 220 feet(which could of been improved by 40 feet if I had hit my mark. It was about 52 degrees with little to no wind. I...

Hi all looking for Aftermarket performance wing tip's for my 7gcbc. Does anyone know who makes them. Terry

Good morning, I working towards creating a Super 7gcbc, which is set up for off field bush flying and thinking about having my wings and ailerons extended. Does anyone have any experience with before/after changes in performance. I think it should improve the STOL and handling capibilities...

Im looking for a climb or Seaplane prop to go with my 29" tires on my 7GCBC. Should I repitch my prop or search for a used 80" seaplane prop. I have a lycoming 150 widedeck with the spacer. Need the climb performance without selling my house for a new prop. Terry
