Goldberg has discontinued the Decathlon . If you look on the Carl Goldberg website, it's listed as a discontinued ARF. As of my last check (5:31 PM EST, 15 Dec), Tower is, in fact, showing them as limited quantities. It's a shame that they're doing that, it's such a great airplane. Tower and Horizon are currently being very notorious about discontinuing great models. Sometimes they're smart and replace them with an updated offering (IE, Horizon's Hangar 9 PTS Mustang RTF). Tower (Great Planes) has supposedly discontinued the Giant U Can Do 3D (however, Tower is still showing limited quantities). I talked to a club member yesterday that owns one, and was going to buy a new one to make quick work of his damage repair (engine cut out going vertical and crashed it. he had it repaired and back at the field yesterday, though.). He said he tried to order one, and was told they were discontinued, and no longer available.

I would have to agree with NorfolkSouthern. It does seem that the rudder is becoming a lost art (excepting during 3D maneuvers). My field, however, does seem to be an exception. 99% of our members fly taildraggers. Though some do "gun it and go" for their take offs, and hope for the best on landings (they are quite successful at it though).

Happy flying.
