I am thinking of building a Balsa USA Citabria Pro and was hoping someone might have a manual they could post or email. Most companies allow you to upload a PDF of the building manual so you can see if you like the set up. But Balsa USA wants $ 26.00 for the manual without the opportunity to upload...this alone discourages me about the company...however, if anyone is willing to help it would be appreciated.

Thanks !!!

Hey there tapeandglue, perhaps you could look at one of the build threads, that's way better than just looking at a manual, that will give you a much better idea about if you like the kit.
Have a look here http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/kit-...balsa-usa.html
and here http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/kit-...8-build-2.html

BUSA kits are fantastic! the wood is good the hardware is good the manuals are good, with step by step instructions and pics.
And if you get stuck, there are plenty of people here to help.

t&g I'll look for my manual this weekend, if it turns up I'll get you a copy. Don't be discouraged about BUSA, absolute great flying airplanes. I'm very partial to the Citabria. It always makes me look like a much better pilot than I really am.

Sorry t&g, no luck on the Citabria manual. I did realize while looking that mine wouldn't be accurate. They redesigned the kit a few years back and I built mine 15yrs ago. If I do run across it I'll check back with you.

Thanks...I appreciate you taking the time to look. If you do find it, I would like to see it.

tapeandglue, did you look at the links to the build threads I posted earlier?

That will give you a way better idea of if you are going to like the kit.
If you are worried the manual won't be helpful enough in the build, don't be, they are very clear.

tapeandglue, are you thinking of buying this kit new or do you already have it and just need the manual? I just picked one up over the weekend and I'm not sure how old it is actually. So If it's an earlier one and your buying the new one , then it may not be of much help to you. please let me know

I have a manual in my kit. Let me know if you need a copy of it still. Thanks Dave

Dave,

I would REALLY appreciate a copy of the manual. I have this plane on my winter build list but I want to make a three section wing and I would like the manual to help me decide
how best to do this in advance. Do you by chance have the capacity to scan and send it in a PDF ? If not I would be glad to send you some $ to make a copy and mail it to me.

If you will supply me with an address, I will send you a copy of mine. It is 7 pages, with one of them being pictures. Thanks Dave
