Default RE: Citation Kit is here!


ORIGINAL: TonyF

OK, not even going to talk about how much I paid and if it is worth it or not. But my Citation kit arrived from Chuck and his Japanese connections and I couldn't be happier! The kit is as beautiful as I remembered it looked like in 1982. The Citation was going to be my #1 model in 1983 and I was going to fly it at the world Champs. But it crashed from low batteries only 20 flights in to it's life, so I flew a Tiporare. But it sure was a great model! I consider it, along with the Naruke Cosmos, to be the ultimate Pre-Turnaround designs. Trike gear, inverted RE engines, enclosed tuned pipes. The Citation also has flaps.

I have a couple of things to get done in front of it but I will be starting on it soon. I'll do a build thread as I go along. Can't wait to see this in the air!
Boy do those photos bring back memories....We should do a Citation in 2 meter
