I've answered this question about 50 times, I get tired of repeating myself.

I do not plan to build a Decathlon.

Tom Im kind of disapointed I have looked high and low for a 50cc Decathelon before i asked you about one.
here was your reply

Regarding something slower, I have thought about this a lot.

First, please don;t get the wrong idea about theplanes we have. The Edge particularly, if set up with low rates and not flown real fast is a very gentle airplane, almost a trainer. It's so easy to land it makes almost anybody look like a much better pilot. The same with the other planes, particularly the Extra 260, it's a total creampuff on low rates. It feels like everything is going in slow motion and gives you lots of extra time to think about what you want to do next. Thet CAN be hot-rods, but they can also be very pleasant Sunday flyers.

As for a Decathlon , I love the Decathlon , it's one of my favorite planes. I shopped the idea of a 50cc Decathlon ARF around about a year ago and got yawns from everybody I spoke with. I guess I'd better come up with a new focus group.

I have 2 new planes that I'm working on right now plus 3 that are finished and being brought to market. When I get them finished I promise a Decathlon will be the next plane. Maybe. Depends on the weather.
