This is A SCOUT NOT a Citabria. It has much taller landing gear, higher gross weight (500 lbs), longer wings (almost 3 feet more span), 180 hp engine, constant speed prop, and 70 gals useable fuel. It’s a dramatically better performer and more versatile, as a result and makes a particularly excellent float plane. The cockpit is very comfortable due to its width and layout (especially compared to Super cubs) and its got toe-brakes.  Airglas has a certified belly pod available for the scouts now to add cargo space and versatility.  Of course, they cruise dramatically faster than cubs (approximately 105 mph on floats and 110 mph on 8.50×6 tires.)  It has a full metal belly and the Engine, Cowling, and exhaust, are much easier to work on than a cub. All this makes the Scout a very competitive desirable option for their weight-class but yet it punches above its weight in some regards.
