My Decathlon is as wild as "wildthing's it sounds like. As everyone stated...do not let the high wing fool you. This a short coupled, old time, high performance design, that will tumble, spin, snap, all at the same time. When throttled back at altitude it's just like most, however, point the nose up and start getting with the sticks, and you will put on your own show. Have fun, these can be a challenge, that's what it's about though..right.

PS, I'm running an ASP.61, and an APC 11x8(<---I think) prop, it's either 11x7 or 11x8 anyways.

Stans Fibertech carries nice cowling/wheel pants for these too. My ABS cowling cracked after 2 flights, oh well...the fiberglass is holding up very well though.
I don't fly mine to much though, I havent flown it in probably over a year...It's here though, when I want a challenge
