Midwest 80" Citabria Build Thread?
Just wondering if you fellas want to see me do another kit build. I haven't built a kit since the 4*120.

I'm kinda itchin' to get some CA on my fingers. I bought the Midwest Citabria cheap in the RCU classifieds.
Some specs on the Citabria:
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXAP63&P=0
SPECS: Wing span: 80.75"
Scale: 1/5
Wing Loading: 17.91 to 20.29 oz/sq ft
Wing Area: 970 sq in
Length: 56.5"
Weight: 7.5 - 8.5lbs
Airfoil: Semi-Symmetrical High-Wing
IMAA Legal
Engine: .60-.75 (2-stroke) or .65-.91 (4-stroke)
I'm going to ATTEMPT a weedie engine thats been converted to gas/glow Hybrid configuration. It will have to be small. Like 15cc up to maybe 21cc.
I'll probably build this Citabria with a glider tow hook.
I MIGHT try and modify it to look more like a Decathlon. The turtledeck area is a bit different and the cowl is slightly different. I don't know for sure if I'll modifiy the kit to look like a Decathlon. It's just a threat right now. Nothing certain.
Open to suggestions. [8D]
