Aeronca 7DC Champion seen in Live and Let Die.

The Aeronca Model 7 Champion, more commonly known as the Champ, is a single-engine, two-seat, fixed conventional gear airplane. Designed for flight training and personal use, it entered production in the United States in 1945. Aeronca ceased all production of light aircraft in 1951, and the Champ design was sold in 1954 to Champion Aircraft. This company was acquired in 1970 by Bellanca Aircraft which continued production of their Champ-derived Citabria and Decathlon designs. In 1971, Bellanca introduced the 7ACA version of the Champ as a more basic complement to their other designs. Only a handful of 7ACA's were built between 1971 and 1972. Bellanca ceased all production in the early 1980s. To take advantage of the new light-sport aircraft category of aircraft in the United States created by the FAA, American Champion Aircraft Corporation who acquired the Champ and related designs in 1989 began producing a revised version of the 7EC in late 2007. The new production aircraft are type certified, but also qualify to be flown by sport pilots in the United States.
