I soloed a Citabria today and it felt like the first time i soloed a C150 back in the eighties. I have gotten lazy over the years with my stick and rudder skills but they are coming back.

That's funny as that's about how I felt when I first solo'd a little baby Champ last year after 30 + years of flying. 80 MPH, 1500' AGL all day long and on ski's in Northern Michigan to boot! What fun!!! :thumbup:

Next you need to fly an open cockpit biplane.

You will be hooked if you get excited about a Citabria! :pilot:

That's correct. O-360

Here is a picture next to a Jungmeister with the original Siemens radial at Ranger Airshow and Fly In a few years ago.
