Back in my twenties I built one of these and it taught me a lot about flying. It was a fun agile flyer and I'm looking forward to reliving the past. The only variations I'm going to do are sheet the entire wing instead of partial sheet with rib caps and also I'm going to use two servos for the wing so I can have flaps incorporated with the elevator. I might make larger control surfaces on the elevator and rudder. This past weekend I got the fuse built and shaped along with the canopy crutch. I also sheeted the wings, hinged ailerons and have sanded everything including the wing tips. Next session this weekend. So far 1 and 1/2 days...Continue Reading

Here's my 1978 Ace RC Alpha. I built the fuse and tail feathers stock. Chucked the wing and sheeted me some go fast pink foam cores.

Finally finished up in early August 2013
This 72" foam core ARF woody came in at a whopping 2lb. 6oz...so light!
Maidened Aug. 10/13
Shes a beauty, a real looker

Well its been finished and flown about half a dozen times now. I had a CG Mirage 550 electric kit NIB and always loved my dads electric version so I decided to make a slope version.
1st built the fuse and sheeted it a second time crossgrain for strength.
2nd threw away the original wing parts and tail feathers
3rd had Dan from Xtreme Gliders cut me a styrofoam RG14 wing then I balsa sheeted and balsa LE
4the I cut new tail feathers from 1/4" balsa and made solid feathers in the Citabria shape, I just love the way they look.
5th assemble, monocote, electronics CG with about a pound
Independent ailerons, no rudder, 51 inch wingspan(called for 54), and an AUW of 3 pounds 1.1 oz. and flies beautifully; rolls fast, pumps high, turns and burns
Very happy, now just need a highway patrol badge under one wing and big CHP letters under the other, like the one you see on the way to Vegas
