Default Goldberg super decathalon

Goldberg Decathlon

A great kit with quality accessories. A well engineered ARF with attention to detail.

One suggestion is to use 4/40 blind nuts to attach the cowl. Another is to re-solder the tail bracing wires at the bend in the tab. This area has been cleaned up with a file and is definately a weak point and will fatigue and break in a short time.

A Saito 91 will fly it very well. I am using the new Saito 100 and it is a power house. It is not a bored out 91 but an entirely new engine. Seems to be a fuel miser also.

Tracks straight as an arrow on take-off and lands the same way.
Definately a keeper.
