I think you'll be happier with a trainer than the decathlon starting out.


One thing to consider as you advance, it's very possible to build a symmetrical wing for that trainer fuselage. I've seen lot's of pilots first convert them to taildragger, and then scratch build a simple symmetrical wing. Bump it up to a .60 size motor and the plane would be a great sport acrobat. It can be done in stages and one airframe can keep you happy through a primary and secondary trainer.
