Citabria 2-7
WARNING
During the spin recovery, the airspeed will build very rapidly with a nose low attitude. Do not
use full or abrupt elevator control movements.
IN-FLIGHT OVERSTRESS
Should an overstress occur due to exceeding the airspeed or load factor limits, aerobatics
should be terminated immediately. Fly at a reduced airspeed, (60 – 70 MPH) to a suitable
landing point. Do NOT under any circumstances, make large control movements or subject the
aircraft to additional G loadings above that required for straight and level flight. After landing the
aircraft should be inspected by a mechanic prior to the next flight.
