www.billhempel.com I have 38% (100cc- 146" ws) and 58% (275cc-215" ws) Super Decathlon's being made! Now you can have your own choice in anysize you want. TBM offers the 150cc size too. If you like this type of airplane you can get one in any size you want!!! B. Hempel | ||||||||||||||||||

| Re: Hempel 50% Cub or Pilot Decathlon
The very first 50% Cub prototype was covered in fabric, I was looking for that scale look on these big airplanes........ BUT, the coverying was crap. Fabric covering for these ARF have been researched and failed. The covering did not hold its shrink free shape, in fact.. everytime the airplane was taken in sunlight, it would wrinkle up. You will need to order an airplane and just uncover it to do it correctly with fabric, sorry. Bill The 100cc airplane with a 100cc engine in it is great! I can not recomend you install a larger motor that what is already recomended.

Maybe I should stop recomending engine sizes for all my airplanes. Seems what ever size engine I design an airplane for....... everyone puts something BIGGER in them. I think I will design an airplane for a 500cc engine, that will fix you guys! BH  |
