Default RE: ParkZone Super Decathlon Review

It runs the same power system as the ParkZone J3 cub and in my opinion the cub is slightly under powered in stock trim ie it is too heavy for the amount of power you have available. Now the Super Decathalon is heavier then the cub by a little bit and that little bit is alot when it comes to flying models. So yes the Decathalon will fly but you will need full throttle to keep it in the air. maybe a dif prop, gws 9070 or gws 0947, might help it out a bit. It might rub the ground on take off or landing but you could always hand launch and land it in the grass.
