Thanks Roberto and Eric...yes, the idea is to be able to exchange engines and thus enjoy some of them that have been waiting for their turn for years haha...so it is so, that I will also try the Black Lynx on a model for the first time. 049, which I won a few years ago here on the forum...so, he will also be on the air!
This video is 3 years old, there you can also see the separators made with pop rivets:

some tubes made of 1 mm thick balsa sheet will be responsible for channeling the cables of the aileron servos....ohhh yes, the complete wing is very very light....

Balsa over foam cores with rolled balsa tubes. Now that takes a lot of skill to accomplish. Lookiing great Mauricio.

Excellent work on the wing Mauricio!!…. The round tubes for the spars are very strong and light!!!…. Plus a pathway for wiring Thumbs Up

Here’s a tube I made for an ornithopter…. It is tapered and was formed on a fiberglass fishing rod…. Spiral wrapped tissue and dope to finish…. Light and strong….

Hello Mauricio
You are doing a great job of building your Citabria. I really like your step by step information and all your photos which are very instructional. You make it look easy but is not as easy as it seems. It takes dexterity and patience. I think you enjoy your modeling very much. Thanks for sharing your adventures in modeling with us.
