Default WildHare Decathlon?

I know, there is no such thing but I remember bugging Tom about one last year when we badgered him about a CAP

Any input for any new designs coming from you?

If your taking input ill throw my hat in for a 25cc-40cc Decathlon! Nothing like doing some relaxing flying with a nice aerobatic tail dragger when your not in the torque rolling mood.

I'll second that!!!

You build a Decathlon for a decent size gasser (35--50cc) and I'll buy one. Thats a promise. 25cc is too small for me, but we can work out the minor details later.

I'm thinking something in the neighborhood of 90--100". 1650--1850 square inches. Weighs about 17--20 pounds. 2-piece wing and removable stabs too. That would have some nice wing loading numbers and fly great.

Come on Tom--you can build a nice sport scale model thats not a full tilt boogey aerobatic stunt plane. I know you can do it!!

You guys just brought up a good one for me. I think an 80cc sized Mong "Full Tilt Boogie" would be just fine, too. That would probably be around 35-40%. Right after that I'll take off for the biplane racing circuit

now what colors do we want? I really like the sunburst scheme, but can't decide on a color combo. I've already had a red and white one.

Were up to 4 now. Maybe a post in another forum could get everybody interested. Look how popular the Wendall's big Decathlon is.

I'll take one as long as it's plenty big enough for a 50cc engine.

I'll be using a G-62 in Colorado at 6000' elevation. Build it just like all the rest of the WH planes. Ready for any 50cc engine--but easily accepts the Zenoah.

I think thats 8.

You want a down payment? Thats how serious I am.

I take one. I have WH 30% plans that will probably never get done. Got to be the yellow & white starburst pattern.

Guys just let it go, you know RCTOm doesnt' want to mess with a decathlon now,, there is not really a market for one,, all of these
"I will take one of course if you build it" order's will fizzle out when the time comes,, if 50 people on here say they want one when the time comes he might sell 8 to those 50,, anyway,"""" just LET IT GO"""" please,
