3. what's at laporte? there's a citabria at weiser/windsock and they
do tailwheel/aerobatic ttraining in that.

What's at LaPorte is Harvey and Rihn. There is indeed a Citabri at
Windsock.

Would strongly recommend that you go to Houston Southwest (Texas
Taildraggers) rather than either of these. Joy is a retired aerobatic
competitor of some stature, and the airplanes are very well maintained.
You can learn more about Harvey&Rihn maintenance practices by checking
out the NTSB database.
