Looking forward to this one; had a Seagull 40 Sized Decathlon that I sold and regretted, don't know what I was thinking, loved it, had a Gyro on the Rudder to tame the unruly takeoffs, but it was a sweet flying plane, have been in the market for a larger one ever since and this one is a must, will be a great winter project.

Not so sure about that.

Displayed —
Example:

Early Sep[/TD]
[TD]The displayed arrival is when we expect to receive stock from the manufacturer. It is a guideline provided by the manufacturer and is subject to change. We sometimes do not receive enough stock to cover all back orders that exist at the time of product arrival, which will on occasion cause the displayed expected arrival date to change to the next expected arrival from the manufacturer. Therefore, rather than waiting to order the product when displayed as "In Stock" we urge that you place your back order immediately to ensure delivery.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]On Order[/TD]
[TD]Product has been ordered from the manufacturer, but the manufacturer has not yet provided a date in which we expect to receive stock. We can accept back orders on these items.[/TD]

[TD]Product is in the process of being ordered from the manufacturer. We can accept back orders on these items.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]Seasonal[/TD]
[TD]Product is seasonal in nature. It is normally stocked leading up to and during its most highly-demanded part of the year. Place your back order immediately to ensure delivery.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]Back Order Only[/TD]
[TD]Product is not normally stocked in our warehouses. If you back order the item we will order it from the manufacturer with the intent of fulfilling your order. Please note that the time it takes to fill your order could exceed 30 days or more depending on inventory available at the factory and/or production schedules.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]Temporarily
Unavailable[/TD]
[TD]Product manufacturing and/or distribution has been suspended by the manufacturer until further notice, or some other problem prevents us from taking orders for the item. No delivery date has been given to us by the manufacturer. Please revisit our web site periodically to check for possible status updates to these items.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]Discontinued[/TD]
[TD]Product has been discontinued either by the manufacturer or by us and the product is no longer available from Tower Hobbies. We are unable to take orders for these items.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR="bgcolor: #fafafa"]
[TD="align: center"]Production Exception[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]Limited-Production Designation[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]Limited Run[/TD]

nice, I'd get one too, or built the small SIG kit....Naww

this ARF is a nice size and value, the old sig kit is small and heavy, a master builder could turn both into a great airframes.. pick one that suits.

I don't know where your info comes from, but my Sig Citabria is covered in Coverite fabric and finished with dope. It is by no means heavy, and is one of the best flying Citabria/Decathlons I have ever flown. Yes, it takes skill to build one correctly, but the Sig kit has the right outlines and flies beautifully. Very benign slow flight envelope.
