Do citabria have flaps. Im building a midwest citabria wing and want to add flaps, but i also want it to be fairly scale. If they do, where can I find a pic of the wing . Thanks

Are the flaps fairly small. or half of the wing, I had a smaller plane with flaps, and is it ever fun to just put around bairly flying.
Hey agwings, do you have any R/C crop dusters?

The flaps are about 3 ft wide (Same depth as ailerons) and start at about 6" from wing root. And no, I don't have a crop duster model. Been lookin' for years for a 188 (Ag Truck or Ag Wagon) but all I can find is Kyosho (spell?) something or other ARF. wish there was a kit somewhere. I'm not good enough for scratch built.
I've got about 6,000 hours in the Cessnas and another 2K or so in Ag Cats and Pawnees.

Ive owned 3 but have 2 kyosho (you spelt it right) Agwagons, And let me tell you that they fly great. I took off the stock canopy and slimed it down to a Dago Red style canopy, it picked up speed and flies great, inverted flight is great, I can fly mine about 3-4 foot off the ground inverted, on purpose. I had flaperons on my agwagon, but it was even worse on landing, mine is WAY nose heavy, fast landings.
thanks for the info on the flaps, Ill probably get started today.

Ok, i took some measurments
from the cetner of the wing to the wing tip is 40.5 inches long. The ailerons are 22inches long with flaps at 11 inches long, does this sound like a good set up? lets say, I think this would make less that 1/4 of the wing with flap, I think.
