Bellanca Super Decathlon 89" by hobby people
Has anyone built, seen or heard of anything on this plane ? I have thought about buying the ARF kit from hobby People, but i would like some feed back before I spend my hard earned money.

Just finishing mine, have not flown it yet. Overall it is a decent Kit for what I paid, around $250.00. The covering is not the quality of my GP Pitts, and there were a few flaws, but overall I like it. I really like the size. If you are willing to spend a little more, I would buy the Giant Scale Planes Decathlon. From what I understand, they basically build the old Pilot version, very big. Any specific questions, let me know.

Let me just give you a fair warning on GSP products. I have owned one of their planes and would not own another. For an ARF the plane was inferior to all other arf's I have put together. The covering started coming off within 5 flights and nothing seemed to fit when assembling the plane. This is just my opinion...I have been flying 23 years. I did meet the people from GSP at DeLand last year and were supposed to have a 2M Pattern plane on the market soon.
