Help!
identify citabria

There are so many and im working on one I need a few parts for
this airframe is a total of 95 1/4 inch wingspan
7 1/4 fuse each wing 44 inch
it needs a total recover and a bit of balsa sheeting replaced
it has a Brison 2.4 on the nose which will be fun
any help will be great cheers Joe

ps there are fiberglass wing tips on the wings if it helps

Not sure who made it but it is a Citabria, not a Decathlon. Flat bottom wing helps with the ID.

The Old Ok model/Pilot one was this size, but this Looks more Arf built than kit and had different construction design - Once i checked the Plans

Nice outline on it tho. But it does have a Flat bottom wing. So Its a Citabria

So i have gone though every Citabria/Decathlon (around 6-7) i know of in this size or close and none of them are a match!.

This one is a tricky one. Appears Arf Built tho rather than a Kit

But will be a Pretty light model and will look great when re done
