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.

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.
