but it's a Citabria being restored I'm waiting to fly.
It's an honest old airplane. It's been around in one form or
another since WW2.

I'm looking forward to flying it. It's not the sexiest aerobatic
airplane, but they're good fun..

Somehow I am not surprised, I am also a big Citabria fan and similarly
describe them as 'honest'.

IMHO they are best described as capable of 'limited areobatics' (+5-2)
and their aerobatics are not severe or particularly 'high
performance'. However the slower roll rate and low power force one to
fly more elegant aerobatics and because the maneuvers are slower they
are good training aircraft for slow thinkers like me who need time to
notice what is happening.


Exactly.

What model?
