Default RE: phoenix decathlon

I was just able to get them out far enough to attach a Y harness, JR as well. I used servo connector lock boxes after tapeing them so Im safe but they do not match the picture. If you get extensions you might see if they have the connector lock boxes, if not, tape them or heat shrink them together. I had to grind the head down on one motor mount screw to clear the carb. My fault for poor measuring.

As for the gyro thing, some say it is needed and others say it is either lack of skill's or you shouldn't be flying a Dec. Very arbitrary issue for which there is more input on the Seagull Dec thread. I have made a stand there and have said enough. If you can afford one, do it !

Most scale type taildraggers are sensitive to rudder input and you be the judge. Full size requires a special license certification and the question is not will it ground loop but, when will it... GOOD LUCK!
