Has anyone built, flown or had experience with Dick Mathis Citabria?

Yes, I built one, but it was a very, very long time ago. I remember liking it, but that's about all I can tell you.

Thanks Randy, Fast said it wasn't a Nobler but it flew quite well.  Anyone know how much it weighed?  I have a set of plans and a copy of the article.  I am leaning toward building one.

If you are talking about the profile Citabria,  Rusty Brown used to fly one and take the hardware home with him.  Watching him fly it made me want to build one.  HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR
