SportARFPetrolElectricExperienced
The Super Decathlon is a beloved American high-wing aerobat (American Champion 8KCAB), known for its clean lines and forgiving manners. Its semi-symmetrical NACA 1412 wing generates lift evenly upright and inverted, enabling aerobatics within a +6/−5 g envelope. Black Horse renders it at a 2450 mm wingspan, built entirely from balsa and plywood and covered in Oracover.
The classic tail-dragger layout and aluminium main and tail gear (included) give steady ground handling. Supplied as an ARF with an 86 mm spinner – build as 30–35cc petrol or with an electric drive.
