Status: offline 		Finally one that looks scale. H9 did a great job. The Pilot-RC and Hempel Decathlons are fun scale at most. The nose section/cowl are so messed up/goofy looking on those, that I wouldn't want one if it was free. H9 sure could school the other Decathlon mfg's, as Mike McConville has flat nailed this design. This is the most scale kit/arf I have seen since the Pilot/Ok Model 1/4 scale Decathlon kits from years back. Sure wish I had a trailer to haul one of these beautiful airframes. Maybe they will come out with a 1/4 scale version. I'm sure a lot of people would be all over it in a hurry. I hope this one is a great seller for Horizon.

Status: offline 		Your more than likely going to have to build a set of your own. Balsa USA has several nice sets. I'm pretty sure HH has no plans for floats for this model being its a Decahlon. Now maybe if it was a Scout, and not a Decathlon? Who knows though?
