This is A SCOUT NOT a Citabria. It has taller landing gear, higher gross weight, longer wings (almost 3 feet more span), 180 hp engine, constant speed prop, and 70 gals useable fuel. It’s a dramatically better performer 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 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 on 8.50×6 tires) and have toe brakes and they make a fairly docile taildragger.  The Engine, Cowling, and exhaust, are much easier to work on than cubs and it has a full metal belly which adds further to its maintainability. All this makes the Scout a very competitive desirable option for their weight-class but its punches above its weight in some regards.
