I can't believe you scale flyers are not into this plane...

I am gonna snag one...

thewrap · 08-05-2007, 09:18 PM

You I've seen one, and another like it. I thought about getting one simialr in a kit or that one if I get the Dalton. But I hear they fly great.

I know it wont be a 3D machine, but it is an icon in the aerobatic world after all is said and done.

Yeah I have a friend that flies them for real. He's trying to get one.

That looks like it would be a fun relaxing aerobat. put some smoke on it......yah baby!!

GremlinX · 08-06-2007, 01:03 PM

Zackly... it's gotta float pretty good. Every single decath I have owned over the years has been a tip stallin' heavy winged pig.

I would think those things would float like a kite.

98" wingspan and 1558 sq inches and guys are thining a Saito 1.80 will be "just fine"...

thewrap · 08-21-2007, 11:25 PM

For a little extra insurance maybe try a 220. But don't spend the extra money. Tom sells a gas 50cc motor @ Wild Hare for 399. You might want to look into that.

GremlinX · 09-06-2008, 08:33 PM

Anybody know anything about these? Just none out there...

MikeC3D · 09-06-2008, 08:41 PM

A guy in our club has one and his flies like a turd, rudder is super sensitive , will snap too easily w/ rudder. full down elev, and hardly any rudder for KE. sux.

I have one. I got it because it seemed like a fun plane for busy days at the field. But after a couple flights I realized it just isn't my type of plane. Anyone want to buy a Super D.

I know this thread is about the RC Guys Super Decathlon but does anybody out there have one of the kit built Dynaflite Super Decathlons. It has about an 89" wingspan. One of the LHS's has one of these kits and I have a spare DA50 that needs a home....
