Citabria ARF?
Does anybody make a Citabria kit? I just got the decathlon, Now I would like to find the Citabria, a good friend of mine has a real citabria gcbc that he flies regularly, I would love to a mini version of his. Any ideas? thanks all

RE: Citabria ARF?
As your buddy probably told you the Decathlon is basically an evolution of the Citabira, which in turn came from the Champ 7A series, from the 40's. As far as an ARF, there's not much out there now. Sig makes a 69" kit that sells for around $115.00! Your best bet, might be to keep an eye out at a swap meet or here in the for sale section for a Citabria that needs a little T.L.C. and recover in the scheme of your friends airplane.

RE: Citabria ARF?
I have a SIG Citabria that I never finished, It is almost ready to cover but has been sitting on a top shelf for some time. Here are the issues with the kit...
1) The left wing strut somehow got broken while it was sitting. You could probably patch it with epoxy, but since it is designed to be painted (not covered) you would probably just want to repalce the broken stick.
2) The Windshield has been misplaced, I haven't spent much time looking for it, but I doubt I will ever find it since it is not with the plane where I left it.
3) Both of these parts can be purchased Directly from Sig at www.SigMfg.com
If you are interested, I will sell the airframe (Ready to Cover) for $150, I bought a Thunder Tiger .40 2 stroke for it, it is NIB and I will toss it in for another $50

Midwest made a real nice one, but it was a kit..... The BUSA Citabria pro is a parasol wing....and a kit. It would take some creativity to turn in into a stock citabria. But it is a nice flyiing airplane!
