55" Super Decathlon V1 ARF - white 1400mm

The ARF semi-model Decathlon with a wingspan of 1400 mm from OMP HOBBY is an ideal follow-up training aerobatic high-flyer designed for propulsion by a 500-600W AC electric motor with power from a 3-4S LiPo battery. With a 3S battery and small rudder deflections, it is an excellent practice model with which you can "sharpen" basic acrobatics; if you use a 4S battery and large deflections, it can hang on the propeller and really go wild.

The hull is a classic "box" construction made of light plywood and balsa covered with Oracover® iron-on film. It is prepared for the installation of a 500-600 W AC electric motor in the rear assembly, such as KAVAN C3542-1000, KAVAN PRO 3542-950, Model Motors AXI 2820/12, etc. with a 40-60A speed controller with a powerful SBEC power stabilizer. Access to the on-board electronics and drive battery compartments is provided by a removable front cab section and a cover on the cab ceiling. Micro servos for rudder and elevator control are installed in the tail section of the fuselage.

The two-part wing with a semi-symmetrical profile is also a classic all-balsa construction with an iron-on foil coating; the halves slide from the side onto the carbon tube coupler and secure with screws. The ailerons are controlled by micro servos stored in the wing using short wire rods with ball studs. The model struts are attached to the fuselage and wing with screws.

The tail surfaces are light all-balsa construction with an iron-on foil coating.

The main chassis is duralumin with light foam wheels and aerodynamic covers, the wire spur is coupled to the steering wheel.

You will need at least a four-channel RC kit to control the model, but to use the full potential of the model you should use at least a six-channel computerized RC kit allowing independent control of the ailerons. For rudder control, use good 12-13g micro servos with metal gears, such as the KAVAN GO-13MG; for 3D wildness, use strong and fast digital micro servos like the KAVAN GO-1013MG.

To drive the model, you can use a 500-600 W AC electric motor, such as the KAVAN PRO 3542-950 with a 13x6" propeller, a 50-60A regulator and a 3S LiPo battery 2200-2600 mAh with a load capacity of at least 30C; for really 3D romps, use a 4S LiPo 2200 mAh 40C and a 12x5-6” propeller.

ARF kit includes: assembled fuselage, wing, iron-on foil-coated tail surfaces, carbon wing joint, duralumin main landing gear and spur with light wheels, propeller cone, small accessories, sheet of self-adhesive decals, instructions.
