On to the fuselage, applied glass cloth to firewall / engine box. Will glass inside next.
Anyone know what types of glues used in this ARF? Very brittle stuff not surprised of the failures reported.

I don't have my Citabria yet (on backorder for early April), but I am getting ready. Got my O.S. GT33 today. It did not come with any standoffs, so I need to buy some. How do I determine what size and where do I get them from?

I followed the instructions and was surprised to find Shoe Goo at my local hardware store (about five formulas). I am very pleased with the results. The stuff works great and can see using it in other applications. Thanks for your help.

You will need 1-1/2" stand off mount plus 3/16" stack of flat washers

Hey, guys my Citabria took a dirt nap today, total loss, Battery failure?? after a touch and go (Best one to date) turned down wind and when I tried to turn base leg, no control. It was wings level, half power, very slight down attitude. It went for about 1/2 mile when it crashed into the wheat field. I have a new set of GP landing gear, never used, if anyone need them, just pay the shipping. Email me at [email protected] .

Michael, it is all out in the trash bin for pick up tomorrow. I salvaged everything I could, the TNT gear was twisted really bad, it went to the trash too. I think the new DLE 35ra is ok and most of the servos. I am not sure about the 7 channel Hitic receiver. Such as the RC airplane world, Sh*t happens.

Progress is a bit slow, too much going on in life. Cutout the wheel pants to fit 4" diameter Dubro #400-TV wheels. Navigation marker light on tail. Hanging engine next......

Do not know if the Hemple Decathlon will be gasoline powered if so the firewall is too thin, should be 5/16 to 3/8 thick. Add triangle gussets and glass all joints.

Here is my Dynaflite Decathalon
After nine years of towing duty she finally succumbed to an off field landing. I have a kit in my stash waiting to be built.
On another note I am searching for a Midwest Citabria kit or even just the plans,
