Default RE: The Super Decathlon


ORIGINAL: n19htmare

From all the posts I've read from you.... sounds like you would be more satisfied with a plane that is capable of 3D and is Very acrobatic. These Scale planes like the Decathlon, cub....etc are just not gonna cut it.
It's a mistake to classify a Decathlon in the same light as a Cub. While they are both high wing planes, the similarities end there. The Decathlon is a highly aerobatic plane that is capable of performing incredible aerobatics. In fact, the full scale Decathlon is used to teach full scale pilots aerobatics. Anybody that makes the mistake of flying a Decathlon like a Cub is going to be rewarded with a broken plane, if a pilot tries to land a Decathlon like a Cub it's more than likely going to stall and snap on them.
