Hi Mike
First let me apologize, sorry, there. I was watching the IAC thread and
came across your message regarding your 115 HP citabria. I am
considering a similar machine or maybe a 150 hp citabria or decathalon.
I own a 172 now and have flown scale aerobatic models at the advanced
IMAC level for years. Rather than answers to your questions I have a lot
of my own (hence the apology).
-Is the 115 hp (there's one for sale near here) a good entry level
aerobatic machine or would you start with one more powerful with an
inverted system if you bought again?
-I've been reading about the difference in airfoils and angle of tail
incidence between the citabria and decathalon. How significant are these
to roll rates and inverted ability? I've read that decathalon rolls
twice as fast as a citabria?
- Inverted systems - are they a must?
- Cracks in wing spars - how do you check if your considering purchase?
- I haven't found many good internet sites or groups on the
citabria/decathlon, are there good ones I'm missing?
- I'd enjoy reading any details of your experiences with your machine.
I've been up in a Pitts and a couple of citabria's but I'm still trying
to get a feel for aerobatics (while strapped in and not wiggling the
sticks on a transmitter).
Mike, I'm posting this to the thread as well, others must have these
questions and answers?
Thanks

was excellent!
