Midwest Citabria Pro
Hi All, there's a kit I'm eyeing at teh local hobby shop. It's been there a while. Plain box, with a photocopied detail sheet taped to the front.
It's [supposedly] a Citabria Pro, 90 - 1.20 size for about $300 Canadian. I haven't asked to look inside the kit yet, but the store owner says its by Midwest. I was sure it was a Balsa USA, considering they are the only ones I've seen with this plane/kit of this size.
thoughts?

Balsa USA Citabria Pro
I have one flying, finally.
I didn't have a proper size engine available, but I did have a somewhat smaller Surpass 70 laying around, so I thought "what the heck..?" Worse case it would do a fast taxi.
Well, it does fly, and fly very well even at half throttle! It needs a lot more power to be aerobatic, but it is perfect for puttering around the circuit doing touch and go's. It is a sweet flying plane, although setup at the field is a pain - 10 bolts to get the wing on..
