Default Need suggestions for a large Decathlon/Cessna

Hi gang

I am looking for a Decathlon or a Cessna in the 80" wingspan range. I know of many 40-60 sized ones but would like one a bit larger. It also has to be an ARF since I dont have time/room to build

any suggestions would be appreciated

thanks [sm=thumbup.gif]

Matt I picked up the Carl Goldberg 80" Decathlon this spring and have been flying it all summer. It's an excellent flying machine. And for 325 bucks at the LHS, I could'nt pass it up.
Oh and yes it is an ARF. I powered mine with a Thundertiger 91 fs though not unlimited vertical, It fly's well. Hope this helps.

Or go the next size up and look at the GSP Super Decathlon. It's an ARC version of the old PILOT kit and is a real beut.

If you don't mind building a kit... the Dynaflite Super Decathlon has an 89" wing span and it's listed for $139 at TowerHobbies and the Top Flite Cessna 182 has an 81"wngspn and it's also listed in Tower for $179...
