I use an older DA100, not an L, its great power! not too much, mine won't hover like the one in the pics above. It gives it pretty good vertical, but it runs out after a bit. For normal flight, half throttle flies it fine. |

I've thought that a G62 would give this plane "scale" power characteristics. I don't know if it would be enough.

You can add canisters, and it's an easy mod. A Picture can be found in this thread page 35 post 514 by EYESOAR. There used to be a how to on the rcaerotowing site , but the links are broken, and there is a picture essay on another site but this site won't let me post the link . Do a Google search for " adding canisters to the Hangar 9 Super Decathlon" and you should be able to find it. Awesome airplane, order one!

A buddy of mine just snagged one of these ready to fly with a DA120 on it. What a sweet ride. Very cool plane. HUGE too!! Wings are like barn doors!! But a really nice plane!!
I suggested he think about putting it on floats. He only missed the runway centerline by a touch over 100 feet, and it was NOT a deadstick. Them old eyes ain't what they used to be!! |

Did my maiden a couple of weeks back. All went very well until 3rd flight and the hatch blew off. I did the mod seen earlier in the thread with the 4/40 bolts through the back rail of the hatch. The rail remained in place but the rest disappeared never to be seen again. Anyone using another method apart from glueing it in place?

I didn't see any info between the bill Hempel Decathlon and the H9 (5 posts before)but the Hempel looks bigger....??
I looked at the Pilot 40% and it has flaps and CF everything!... but add up the price of plane and the shipping and you are at 2000$ 1700$ for plane and 275$ for shipping.... Bill Hempels are same price as Pilots..... (2000$) all said and done... H9 has FREE shipping right now.... that is hard to beat. Hempels and Pilots look better.... but 500$ better? I hate adding it up like that , As I REALLY like BH. planes and Pilots..... (will be picking up the 50% pitts sometime next year from him) |

Hey guys, has anyone had trouble fitting the cowl on? I haven't cut a hole in the bottom yet (like the manual says) I was hoping to avoid it but I just cant get it on the front of the plane way too tight!
Is it just mine or did you find you had to cut the cowl at the bottom to make it fit? |
