These are NOT factory Champion\/Bellanca blueprints, but rather clear, well-drafted plans designed specifically for homebuilders who want to construct a look-alike aircraft inspired by the classic Citabria design. Perfect for experimental aircraft builders, aviation enthusiasts, and those interested in tube-and-fabric construction techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat These Plans Are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are homebuilt aircraft plans drawn by a mechanic in 1995 (as shown in the title blocks) to enable construction of a Citabria-style aircraft. They show construction methods, dimensions, and assembly details for building a similar-looking aircraft using readily available materials and parts. The drawings are clear, easy to understand, and designed with the homebuilder in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e These are not factory engineering drawings from Champion Aircraft, Bellanca, or American Champion.
