How's your Citabria doing?? Believe it or not, I still haven't flown mine. Actually, I haven't flown ANYTHING in awhile. I keep saying I'm going to get back out there but something always comes up. In the meantime, I keep building!! LOL!!! I have four planes waiting for a maiden flight!! I LOVE building! I'm working on an OLD Piper Tomahawk kit now. After that I plan on going giant scale with a Balsa USA 1/3 Sopwith Pup. Well at least when I do make it back to the field I will have plenty of planes to choose from.
