Default RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

I found a great article for good SD info. If any of you guys are pilots you surely belong to AOPA, in the October 02' issue *and on the cover* of the mag is a great writeup and some great pictures that show a lot of detail not previously seen on this thread. It could have been mentioned but I read so much stuff it's all a blurr! Pretty nice color scheme also that is a step away from the norm as well.
Some interesting factoids, Bellanca made 670 units *with wooden spars* till 1980, in 92' AC started back up *with metal spars, ribs are still wood* and at the writing of this article had built 258. With a base price of $107k that's a pretty cheap set of wings with acrobat cert.

Back to the little guys
