Yup. You can't float the Decathlon around at 1/4 throttle like my Cub or my DragSTAR can. This plane needs air moving over the wings and airframe to make it fly decently (a lot like my F22 Raptor). I don't think overpowering this airframe would have any beneficial results.

She sure is a beautiful looking plane in the air and on the ground. I think I've got a keeper to add to my collection. I still have a weak spot for scale looking and flying planes. The rip snorters are nice for a change but nothing beats flying scale!!
