Hi Marcus,

Your models are beautiful, well done to you. I like your finishes. I have thought about building a second 30% in the conventional star bursts. There is a new SD at my local airport...

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

Hi Marcus,

I did post some pics but here are a few more. I modeled it after a full size in San Paulo PT-OTB. It is a really good model to fly and performs very much like the full size. The spins...

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

Hi Geoff,

Nice to see another Aussie on the site building SD's. I built a 30% a couple of years ago and it is a great model. I have just ordered Wendell's Aeronca Champ plans for my latest...

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

Hi Ari,

I thought I would add to the spar glassing discussions..

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

Hello Marcus,

What a great idea! Your method is very simple but effective. I will try this method on my ZDZ80. I will not have to worry about airflow to the carby.

You are correct, an...

RE: Hostetler 33% Decathlon

Ari,

I got a mount turned down from a solid piece of aluminium. The top is flat and the inside hollowed out. This is good for the Zenoa because of the crankshaft extension. The bottom of the...
