Default RE: The Super Decathlon

Gray Beard I beleve your two beautiful Kaos' are the last of the great Bridi Kaos, the Killer Kaos.

Four of the Pheonix Decathalons have flown locally and all were lost likey from unrealistic purchaser expectations of some sort of super duper scale aerobat and/or a super slow flying floater and it is neither. Two of these airplanes I did the maidens on while they were an OK airplane they are not what the purchasers really wanted or were expecting in each case.

I salvaged the last one from the dumpster and changed it a little into the Champion Lancer, Yes there really were 22 of those ugly things built, a full scale factory bash. I think 19 flights now and it does not fly any better than the Pheonix Decathalon with a couple of 28's but more importantly it does not fly any worse.
