Citabria Aerobatic Pro

.61 ASP nitro or 25cc Husqvarna... how would you go? I think big and fast. Still working hard but not to far to go!

Below, I still have the wing tips and struts to finish then cover, but getting closer every day....

Below, still going strong... I've changed the look from the original Pro but used the same color scheme...

Go with gas!
by: Pete

It's looking good! Personally I would probably choose the Husqvarna, but I'm not sure why. I just think a big plane should have a big engine! ;-) Running costs will be less, too...

That's starting to look real good, can't wait to see it complete and airborne :-)

I got a Citabria model used for $25
by: Anonymous

Hello David,
I purchased a used Balsa USA Citabria kit for $25. It is an older style kit. The instructions and plans are not too easy to follow. I am eager to start building it.

Engine choice
by: marco

You said you have bought 4 engines now but which one did you choose? I bought a 26cc zg engine, I hope it is not too much. I saw your picturs but is it flying now? Greeting from the Netherlands!

Better gasser
by: Alejandro

Hi David, I'm a Spanish (so sorry for my english) and I'm building too a Balsa USA Pro. The engine I've selected is a MVVS 26 gas. It's a little bit heavy, but no much more than a 1.20 FS. So, my advice: put a gasser on the nose.

Good flights!
