Kit modifications
I have decided to build a Bud Nosen Citabria and I've found that in itself is enough to start a very opinionated discussion. I have two questions,
First, the plans call for no right thrust or down thrust but that is also for a .60 size plant. I would like to put in a G-26. Is this way nuts? Since this engine would have much more power than the orginal plans called for do I now need to adjust my mounting angles to allow for more torque and power. I realize there is some beefing up needed to accommodate the added power and weight.
Second, which probably effects the first question, Im considering using a naca 1412 airfoil like the decathlon uses instead of the flat one used on citabrias or should I just build the thing and enjoy it as is.
