Ah yes, the Decathlon. I know it well. It's better that you fly it from grass like this. Ground handling isn't exactly stellar. But she's a hoot in the air. Snaps and spins galore! Have you checked the stall?
@@richard1472 oh yes and like my many Decathlons it can be nasty especially if at low altitude. This is my second one of these as the first was lost this spring when trying to take off in some nasty winds that lifted the plane off way to early and I wasn’t able to save the inevitable tip stall crash. Luckily I had this ARF as a backup and it’s actually a much prettier red than the first for some reason. The first plane I was actually taking off at our Spring fly in and was going to use the smoke system for the very first time to wow the crowd. They got entertained anyway since I’m the head of the entertainment committee at our club 😂😢😢😢
