RE: Just got the Phoenix Super Decathlon
Wow, I never expected to have this must response from my original post on the PSD. I haven't had a chance to fly mine again since making adjustments, but she's ready when the weather decides to cooperate. Plus I've been distracted with a couple of foamies lately too.
I'm ready to cover a set of GP .40 size floats. I intended to mount them to the PSD and fly from a nearby lake, but I'm starting to have second thoughts. The Saito 72 pulls it around nicely, but the floats are going to add extra weight and a bunch of drag, so I might have to put them on something else, like my Stinger or SuperStearman. Either way, I plan to make them removable so I can switch back and forth on a whim. Maybe rig all my planes to use them.... there's a thought.
Anybody got thoughts on floats on this plane?
