Currently, American Champion Aircraft produces at least eight different models. Among them is the Xtreme Decathlon 8KCAB which costs $375,000. It features a Lycoming AEIO-390-A1B6 engine with 210 horsepower at 2500 RPM. Jody Bradt, an engineer and test pilot notes that the Xtreme Decathlon is "15 MPH (24 km) faster than the Super Decathlon" with improved climb performance.
The Super Decathlon 8KCAB offers high performance suitable for utility operations under Part 91 or Part 135 conditions when equipped appropriately. Its engine delivers 150 horsepower.
Another model offered by ACA is the Scout which was initially introduced in 1974 to compete in the light utility market against models like the PA-18 Super Cub. The Scout has undergone significant changes including a metal spar certification similar to other ACA products like the Decathlon.
The Citabria Aurora continues this tradition of versatile aircraft design with its modern avionics yet classic tailwheel configuration while offering aerobatic capabilities spelled backward as AIRBATIC.
Finally on offer from ACA is Citabria High Country Explorer featuring superior power output exceeding 180 horsepower thanks to its premium version Lycoming engine; it's tailored especially for pilots operating in higher altitudes needing extra power akin to what’s found within Decathlons’ range of offerings too!
