    Status: online     		I hear there's a lot of these plans being sold.Whats everyone going to power this baby with?I wish I could afford a 100cc twin like it calls for on the plans but I cant.I do have a Quadra 75 that may do the job.
    Also I noticed there are no flaps shown on the wing plan.Does the Decathalon not have flaps?Cause I think I'll be putting it on floats later.Any comments appreciated..Steve

    Status: offline     		SteveD, I've looked at a lot of photos of Super Decathlons and have yet to see one with flaps.

    inthetrees, what do you think of the Hostetler plans? Did you get the 33% size? Have you come up with a list of materials? Are you cutting it out or using a kit cutter? Thanks for the answers.

    Ken

    Status: offline     		Precision cut kits did a good job cutting ( had a couple minor boo boo s but easily fix ) laser 33% plans pretty good , would have liked full top view of fuse , but easily made off plan half top view.

    Fullscale Super Dec. has no flaps so no flaps...

    Plans for experienced builder study them well and it all works.
    No written inst. only notes on plan.

    But what a beautiful plane it makes...

    Status: offline     		Hi there!

    I have a whole bunch of SD pics that I got from many web sites.

    Here is one of the interior. If you want more send me an email.

    I had to shrink this one. It was much bigger.

    I have a Dynaflight SD and just love it.

    Status: offline     		Great photos! I've found quiet a few by doing a search for Super Decathlon on google.com. There are certainly a lot of different color schemes on the SD.

    I'm going to order the plans pretty quickly and since I'm retired I'll probably buy a load of balsa and start cutting. I happen to have a 6.4 twin that would haul it nicely.

    Status: offline     		Hi SD Lovers.

    I have packed a bunch of SD (23) pics into a zipped file that is about 850K.

    If you want me to forward it send an email and I will be happy to send it.

    I am looking for the web site that I got the paint job from. I also have the same stuff for the Fokker DR1, Spacewalker, etc, etc. Will try to find ASAP.


    Here is the web site for the official bellanca-champ club. I got to most of the pics through this site.
