I like the color scheme, reminds me of the WM Clipped Cub I had.

If you don't mind me asking: What is the difference between a Cub, Decathalon and a Citabria? They all look pretty much the same to me.
Actually they are all in the same family. The order of succession is, I think, 1.Cub 2.Citabria 3.Decathalon. (I accept correction when necessary) Improvements were made in order for added performance.

The cub has nothing to do with the Dec.. A company called Amercian Champion produces the Decathlon.. It started with the Aironca (spelling) then evolved into the Citabria then the Decathlon ... Citabria is Airbatic spelled backwords... The Decathlon is a little more powerful version of the Citabria... The Citabria and Decathlon look quite simular... Especially the available ARF's.. The Citabria and Decathlon are still produced today...
