From paint details to assembly, it’s always nice to see it come together!

It’s always an honor to see the Super Decathlon recognized for what it represents — timeless aerobatic performance, proven durability, and classic stick-and-rudder flying. The factory-refreshed example highlighted in their article is a great reflection of the lasting quality behind American Champion Aircraft.

Meet our newest 7GCBC High Country Explorer—wearing our Scout paint suit and absolutely owning it. We adapted the Scout Twintone w/ Bare H-Stab scheme to the 7GCBC airframe, and those long, flowing lines wrap the fuselage, wheel pants, and wing tips like it was born for it. Scout style, Explorer presence.

Paint Scheme: Scout “Twintone w/ Bare H-Stab”
Colors Used:
• 9-010 Bright White (base)
• 6-030 Dark Red (primary)
• 9-070 Black (accent stripe)

This Super Decathlon has been struttin’ her tail like she owns the runway…
Just about ready for her first test flight — once we stop her from spinning in circles showing off!

Final vinyl work on the cowl, and she’s sky-bound!!

💡 Fun fact: With a solid color and vinyl graphics, we saved approx. 15 pounds — give or take! Every bit counts when you’re building to fly.

New vinyl graphics laid over that deep, glossy red — sharp, bold, and unapologetically fast-looking.

Warning: Corvette Red may cause spontaneous swagger.
