The Decathlon flew great but you had to keep the power on it to make it perform. There is no floating around at 1/4 throttle like my Cub. It landed very nice and stable. The takeoffs can be a little tricky but keep the rudder throws down and it isn't to bad on the takeoff roll. Be careful with the rudder in the air, it is quite effective. The 4*, Dolphin or CG Tiger would be quite a bit easier to fly. You can cut the throttle back on these and they don't drop like the Decathlon will. The CMPro Yak 54 50 that I had was just a bit to sensitve on the elevator for my liking. Would love to snap when to much was applied. I just love Bipes, nothing to be scared of....just differant to fly. Like I said, I would have loved to have kept, it but to good of a deal to pass up.
Every type of plane has its good points and bad points. I don't think there are any real bad planes out there, just pick something in the style that you like to fly and learn to fly it and have a blast.
It is nice to have 15 planes at the ready but all the batteries and motors that I have do require a lot of continued maintenace. I am going to try and get down to about 4-5 battery packs this winter and swap them out from plane to plane. At least I have good intentions... Yeah right, I can see that happening
