Citabria's are often flown in aerobatics (Citabria backwards is airbatic and for a while, they were the only aerobatic aircraft being commercially manufactured in the US) and a lot of aerobatic maneuvers involve stalling the wing.
- SR2Z 3y agoYes, but anyone doing aerobatics so close to the ground that they can't recover from a stall is understood to be doing that at their own risk. Anyone doing the above with unfavorable wind has a death wish.
- jcalvinowens 3y agoYou don't really look at the airspeed indicator for that, you feel the stall in the reversible controls. That feel is incredibly precise.
