Re: Pilot-RC 40% Decathlon building thread
Can't wait to get off this deployment so I can get mine. Have a DA-100L I can put in it but am debating if I should get the 120. Any input on performance with a 100?

Re: Pilot-RC 40% Decathlon building thread
Hey Pilot 40% Decathlon pilots:
I've not had a plane with flaps for over 20 years. I'm just getting started on my 40% Decathlon and I plan on operational flaps. I was just wondering how effective the flaps are. What are your opinions of the flaps? OR Larry |

Re: Pilot-RC 40% Decathlon building thread
I have a 47% Decathlon and the flaps are awesome. It fly's really slow and slows right down without them, but with them deployed I can land with only about 30 feet of roll on. They are really nice if you have a shorter runway to land on as you can get the plane on the ground and stopped relatively quickly.

Hey Larry,
The flaps are very good for slow landings. They are pretty effective Regards, Marcelo |

Re: Pilot-RC 40% Decathlon building thread
you will have to cut holes for the spark plugs , but There IS NO Need for The 150 ....a DA 120 gives you vertical out of a hover .....
