Default Dynaflite Decathlon - Good/Bad/So So???

[8D]I am seeking information on the Dynaflite Super Decathlon kit (while
it is still available).

I would like to know whether or not it is a kit with reasonable quality, how the
aircraft performs and what engine you have found to be suitable for flying this
giant scale aircraft.

Thanks to all for your input.

I recently bought one used and I am busy cleaning it back up to "like-new" condition. I already fitted up a new fiberglass cowl and wheel pants and have a new windscreen and side windows coming from Dynaflite. I am powering it with my Saito 200Ti inline twin. Its one of the few planes that is the right size and has enough room in the cowl for this engine.

The previous owner used a Saito 180. I've never seen it in the air but people around here tell me that the 180 was plenty of power and that the plane was an outstanding flyer- did aerobatics that it seemed it should not have been capable of.

It looks like a straightforward build, repairs have certainly been very easy.

I should have it flying within the next few weeks.
