Citabria = Wow!

I started my tailwheel endorsement training today in a Citabria at KVKX (Potomac airfield, Maryland) and 2W5 and had a bunch of firsts for me. They included:
  • tailwheel takeoffs and landings
  • really steep turns (60 degree or more)
  • loops, that was something else
  • spins, that was even more something else
  • grass field landings
  • flying a non-six pack (instrument layout) airplane
The Citabria is, unfortunately, very tight for my legs (knees almost in my ears I think) so I would probably not want to fly a lot in it but I think that plane can do pretty much anything.
