My now 24 yr old son built and flew the Super Decathlon like a champ. He was always better than me and a lot more daring. What the hay, dad will buy me another one. I watched how the Super D acted on take offs. Unless you had adequate speed,... snap roll, but he was able to recover. After that he made sure there was plenty speed and the plane was pure joy to watch. I never attempted to fly it then as we were only into flying for a couple of years, and mainly trainer like planes.

Yes I heard that a slight up on the aileron helps prevent tip stalls. I think Quantum shipped the plane so I may have bought it. I did send them an email stating that to this day i have found no one who spoke kindly of the Beaver and for them to investigate the air foil. I wonder if they meant to build in a wash-out and built the panels upside down, hence a wash-in.

Yep, three out of three and the same symptom? I think a conclusion can be drawn from that. And yes, I have gained a lot of info from fellow fliers and members of this forum as well as boaters. I also have three gas boats from 4 to 5 ft that'll go 50 mph.
I am so grateful for Al Gore for inventing the internet, ( this was one of his claims) but more so for members willing to share their knowledge.

Re Super D on floats, go for it. I've heard that floats on high wings actually make it a bit more stable. Up the power a few cc's to compensate for the drag of the floats, unless you already have strong enough motor. Just think of it as an exploration and then share the results of your findings with the members. That is what this hobby and forum is about. Go for it and let us know the results. Just do it an have fun.
