I remember you creating this model at one of my suggestions. I learned to fly and did my solo in this aircraft, so it has many good memories for me. The canopy slid back like a military aircraft. I'd often slide the canopy back during flight just for the extra feeling of freedom it gave me. I went on to earn my commercial and instrument ratings and completed basic through advanced aerobatics in the citabria (airbatic spelled backward)and Pitts. I also certified in gliders, amphibians (a Lake), and float plane (Beaver). I loved flying. There is nothing quite like it. Take care, BMF
