The Citabria is a light single-engine, two-seat, fixed conventional gear airplane designed by Champion Aircraft which entered production in the United States in 1964. Designed for flight training, utility and personal use, it is capable of sustaining aerobatic stresses from +5g to -2g. This is reflected by its name, which spells "airbatic" backwards.
