Is the name of the Citabria on the cowling upside down ?

AD-1 Scissors wing: To me the engines are for one side only. (not mirrored)

Yes - but it was the only way to get "airbatic" to read properly from left to right. :mrgreen:

I wouldn't be surprised at all if some real Citabrias had their logos painted on inverted; I know for a fact more than one have a placard on the intrument panel warning "Intentional Upright Flight Prohibited".

I've actually seen a Citabria with the logo on upside down. They are quite the acrobatic flyers.

I had a friend that had a Citabria with the name upside down on the cowl.
