	Thanks for the response, Pete. Is your Citabria still under construction? I'm using the Gmot motors... GM-120 in the Decathlon and GM-300 in my Cub. Still deciding whether to make the Cub two channel R/C or Free Flight. Finishing up the tissue on the Hacker kit. I think I'll airbrush nitrate dope mixed with acrylics to replicate a Decathlon of Canadian registry, using frisket film as a mask. Then comes the hard part...getting the windshield right.

	Just read your PM, Brian . Been rather busy with life issues. Your Hacker build is further proof that Turbina (my CITABRIA) was bought out, or just re-named. The parts and construction of both are exactly the same. Yours is looking great! Are you using the G-Mot 120 or a true Gasparin? Pete

	I reinforced the uprights around cockpit, they seemed a bit weak. Got her to the covering stage. Esaki tissue attached with glue stick. Motor and tank are installed complete, ready for test run...I'll try to post vid of that. Citabria Super Decathlon: A basic trainer that happens to be fully aerobatic! Onward and upward.

	Okay, time to resurrect this CO2 forum...here goes. I started this build about 8 years ago. But life intervened, and had to move a few times, so it got boxed up and put in cold storage. Finally got back to it about 3 months ago, feels great to be building again! The Hacker kits are really nicely done. Made in the Czech Republic, with CO2 as intended power source, and rubber being an option. Pre-cut and sanded ribs, and even pre-laminated wing tips & tail feathers! Framed up, ready to mount & test motor.
