RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

Thanks Ken, I'm looking forward to that first knife edge just like I used to do with my Lazer. I have a warbird event to attend tomorrow and I hope that I can do some leaning out on the engine...

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

You got it Ken. The maiden was as good as I could expect for the first flight performance test. I took off at about half throttle in about 200ft and very little rudder was needed. It flies like a...

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

Jim, no work done on the Z-Stuka yet, but I have everything except the servos. The ZDZ will be a bit too much power, but it's paid for so that's what I'll use. There will be no carb hanging out the...

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

Hi Marcus,

Engine choice has been a difficult selection for me. I normally don't put less than the recommended engine and I know Ken's fly's well with the ZDZ80. I really have thought about...
