The 7GCAA was basically the same as the 7ECA, but with a 150-hp engine.

Bellanca introduced two designs with close connections to the Citabria: The 8KCAB Decathlon and the 8GCBC Scout. The 7GCAA and 7GCBC variants, added in 1965, were joined by the 7KCAB in 1968.In 1970, Champion was acquired by Bellanca Aircraft Corporation, which continued production of all of the Champion-designed variants. The model 7ECA Citabria entered production at Champion in 1964. 4.3 7GCBC, Citabria 150s, Citabria "C" Package, Citabria ExplorerThe Citabria was designed and initially produced by Champion Aircraft Corporation, and was a derivative of designs the company had been building since acquiring the 7-series Champ from Aeronca in 1954. 4.2 7GCAA, Citabria 150, Citabria "A" Package, Citabria Adventure 4.1 7ECA, Citabria Standard, Citabria Aurora
The fuselage and tail surfaces are constructed of welded metal tubing. Like the Champ, the Citabria features tandem seating. The most noticeable external changes to the design are the Citabria's squared-off rudder surface, wingtips, and rear windows. In that period, only one Citabria model was built—a 7GCBC marketed as "Citabria 150S." American Champion Aircraft Corporation acquired the Citabria, Decathlon, and Scout designs in 1989 and returned the 7ECA, 7GCAA, and 7GCBC models to production over a period of years.The Citabria traces its lineage back to the Champ.
Champion switched to spring steel main gear legs in 1967. The major difference was in the engine, which in the 7GCAA was a Lycoming O-320-A2B of 150 horsepower (110 kW). The cross-section of the metal fuselage truss is triangular, a design feature which can be traced all the way back to the earliest Aeronca C-2 design of the late 1920s.Introduced in 1965, the Champion 7GCAA, like the 7ECA, featured wood-spar wings and oleo-shock main gear.
American Champion's 7GCBC, reintroduced in 1994 as the Citabria "Explorer," is similar to earlier versions, with the exception of the metal-spar wings and the use of the Lycoming O-320-B2B of 160 horsepower (120 kW) the most recent significant design change has been the switch to aluminum main gear legs in 2004. Bellanca continued production of the 7GCBC, calling it the Citabria "C" Package (a designation apparently begun by Champion). The major differences between these two models are that the 7GCBC has a wingspan of 34.5 feet (10.5 m), 1-foot (0.30 m) longer than the 7ECA and 7GCAA, and carries wing flaps. It was substantially similar to the 7GCAA of the same year, with a Lycoming O-320-A2B engine of 150 horsepower (110 kW), wood-spar wings, and spring steel main gear legs. An "Ultimate Adventure" version, with a Superior Vantage O-360-A3A2 engine of 180 horsepower (130 kW) and a composite propeller, is also produced by American Champion.7GCBC, Citabria 150s, Citabria "C" Package, Citabria Explorer Champion introduced the 7GCBC in 1965. American Champion's 7GCAA, reintroduced in 1997 as the Citabria "Adventure," is similar to earlier versions, with the exception of the metal-spar wings and the use of the Lycoming O-320-B2B engine of 160 horsepower (120 kW) the most recent significant design change has been the switch to aluminum main gear legs in 2004.
The engine was replaced with a Lycoming IO-320-E2A of 150 horsepower (110 kW), while a header tank of 1.5 gallons—located beneath the instrument panel—was added to the fuel system. The major differences between the7GCAA and 7KCAB were in the fuel system and the engine oil system. It was substantially similar to the 7GCAA of the same year, with wood-spar wings and spring steel main gear legs.
