2 members of our club have/had this version of the Decathlon.
One had it powered with the equivalent of a .40 2 stroke in electric. Not enough power and tended to tip stall very badly. So much so that on his last takeoff it tip stalled,winged over and was unrecoverable.End of plane.
The other member has a Saito .62 in it and it flys perfectly scale. Will do anything the full size will and sounds sweet. Gives the plane a very scale feel on low flybys at half throttle.Plenty of power for whoopsie recoveries.
While the .82 would definitely give it tons of power (and not very scale at full throttle), you'd end up having a bit of extra weight to counter balance
The 82 really does give it something, but I don't want that much
I only want scale(ish) and light sport with a bit more power
The SC70FS is about what I want, but only slightly cheaper than the Saito 62
The Saito 82 and 72 are pricey but 62 is cheap
Wasn't too sure the 62 would be enough as the 56 is definately not
