In 1957, Champion brought out the 7FC, which is similar to the 7EC but with tricycle landing gear instead of conventional (tailwheel) gear, oleo struts on all 3 wheels, & extra frame bracing for the nosewheel. Factory standard equipment was comparable to the 7EC DeLuxe Traveler.

The 7FC is 3 mph (4.8 km/h) slower & 90 lb (41 kg) heavier than an equivalent 7EC, with a standard useful load of 540 lb (245 kg), compared with 630 lb (286 kg) for the 7EC. Originally both used the 90 hp (67 kW) Continental C90-12F engine.

Standard gross weight of the 7FC is 1,450 lb (660 kg) with an increase to 1,500 lb (680 kg) allowed with the installation of “Wide Track Main Gear.”
