The Citabria Pro was developed from Bellanca's famous two place tandem sport aerobatic Citabria. The name "Citabria", is a clever backwards spelling of the word "airbatic". Our kit of the model is an absolute delight to fly. Although the model is capable of practically any kind of aerobatics, most modelers we talked to found that they really enjoyed the Citabria Pro's easy handling characteristics. It is a great first scale model because it builds quickly, looks great, and flies even better! The kit has 10 different Laser cut sheets, several jig-cut parts which have all been designed for quick and easy building. Our new 36 page, photo illustrated instruction manual contains over 140 photos and illustrations to guide you through all phases of the construction of the model. The construction of the model has been simplified for faster building. If you are looking for a great flying model that isn't just another ordinary ho-hum sport model, check out the Pro!
