The Ultimate
Adventure, a variant of the 7GCAA, is the second OEM certified
aircraft to offer the new Superior Vantage engine. (The 7GCBC
'High Country' Explorer was the first)
Like the High
Country Explorer, the jump to 180 Horsepower (from 160),
augments the airplane with exceptional performance. The cowling
is taken from the Scout by adding the side louvers and ground
adjustable cowl flap. Following this cue, the Scout airbox was
added to offer dual inlets when carburetor heat is used.
Unlike the
High Country Explorer, the Ultimate Adventure retains a smaller
diameter, 74" propeller. This allows the airplane to be fitted
with 600 x 6 tires and, of course, wheel pants. To offset the
increased weight of the Superior O-360 over the O-320, a fixed
pitch MT propeller helps to make up some of the difference.
Lastly, the
Superior Vantage permissibly runs on premium automotive fuel.
No reformulated or alcohol blends are permitted. As always,
Aviation Grade 100LL is the preferred fuel. |
