sorry for the late response.but there is only one thing better than a Pilot rc Decathlon, and that is the pilot behind the sticks.super good flying and great video.
that is some awesome flying, love the knife edging and one wheel landing - damn the whole flight envelope was brilliant, great filming bob thanks for uploading - thumbs up m8, - pete,
I am guilty of watching it a few times myself and enjoy it more each time. It was a pleasure to be there to see it in person. I haven't mentioned it before but the plane was quite under powered and the pilot (Kody) made the most of the flight and turned in a very memorable performance. Many thanks for watching! Cheers, Bob
At first I thought, "How could a Decathlon win a 'Bad Ass Plane Award?'" Then I saw that Decathlon (and Kody) do things no other Decathlon has ever done (knife-edge harriers anyone?). So while the Edge 540s and Extra 300s could easily do rolling harriers, This Decathlon was never intended for such shenanigans, but it did most of them anyway. Super-hot flying, Kody! And fantastic video as usual, Bob!
Watching you fly this has reminded me how much fun a decathalon can be and inspired me to put mine back in the air . I have a carl goldberg decathalon 80"ws (little in comparison) but a lot of fun ! Now if i can get my flying to look anything like yours i will be a happy man ! Lol. Seriously though, beautiful bird and absolutely stunning flying !
Kody Knudson did the flying for this video and I completely agree, he knocked it out of the park and made the Decathlon one of the stars of the event. Many thanks for your kind comments and thanks for watching! I hope you get your plane flying soon! Cheers, Bob
TripleThreatRC well I got my bird in the air , trimmed and new motor broken in ! Now if I can just keep the wing struts from coming apart , my smile each time I land might be a bit wider ! Lol PS I am the guy with the decathlon you replied to , jus a new phone and RUclips account . BTW , that means I got to like your video again ! 😎👍
+tbobborap1 Lmao Sheepylishous indeed. The video is an oldie but goodie, just like you g. The flying would have been even more spectacular if the plane had a more powerful engine. If you look close, you'll see it couldn't even climb out of a hover. It does however, remain as one of the favorite flights I've seen.
That must have been something,to witness all that skill, at one show.Brilliant stuff Bob. I tried the pro Bob camerawork jollop the other day,as it turns out i can't multitask.Talking rubbish i can do but film properly at the same time...no. Fantastic video once again mate,double thumbs and double plums up.
Just ordered my 40%. Black, White, and Red one. after watching the plane in the air I'm for sure buying the da120. The reason I went with RC guys is the crash parts are free, just pay shipping. cool man Thanks
+Greg Briley Awesome, let's hope you never need the crash parts! And from what the boys were saying, a DA120 is the minimum power plant for this awesome plane, unless you just want to fly scale. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Bob
Nice flying of that giant Decathlon. What I can't understand is, why other planes and even a helicopter is flying at the same time? This is totally taboo at an air show here in Germany. As usual great camera work, Bob !!! Cheerst, Horst
Thanks for the awesome comments! The Decathalon was running a Powerbox smoke pump. The oil used was Super-Dri. Thanks for watching and happy flying! Cheers, Bob
Great flight, man! To see that makes brings me into a "can't wait"- status :-), because atm i am at the built of the same plane (the red/white design of that 150 beauty). Looks like i should speed up to bolt the Valach engine to its firewall before winter starts :-) What engine do you fly, DA100/120? Thrust looks really good! Best regards from near Berlin/ Germany... Fank
Yep... pure scale flying with a Decathlon... what, doesn't everybody do lomcevaks and pop-tops with their Decathlons? It would be showing off, Kody, except that you're so darn smooth at it... the Decathlon envelope just had a hole blasted in it...
All the details are listed in the Video Description. To save you the hassle of reading it there, this Decathlon is powered by a DA-120. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Jay Sims We haven't had any mid-air crashes in all the events I've been to. There are sometimes 12 planes in the air at the same time (and all are flying freestyle) but usually it is just a few. It is a big airspace and each pilot has a spotter to warn him about other planes. There are lots of crashes but they crash into the dirt due to mechanical failure or due to trying just a little too hard lol. Many thanks for watching and for your comment!

Bad Ass Indeed !!!, Great Flight and Skills, Can you tell me who's Smoke pump and smoke oil, you are using ???. Thanks
Thanks for the awesome comments! The Decathalon was running a Powerbox smoke pump. The oil used was Super-Dri.
Thanks for watching and happy flying!

You're welcome.
Great flight, man!
To see that makes brings me into a "can't wait"- status :-), because
atm i am at the built of the same plane (the red/white design of that 150 beauty). Looks like i should speed up to bolt the Valach engine to its firewall before winter starts :-)

engine??? 150,160,170??
All the details are listed in the Video Description. To save you the hassle of reading it there, this Decathlon is powered by a DA-120. Thanks for watching!
Cheers!
And there are other planes in the box... why? That almost always leads to a crash.

Vimeo is way better. Just doesn't have the youtube "name"
Amazing skill. You should volunteer to fly Ukrainian drones bro, they desperately need your help.
