i have a t-28 by parkzone. Im thinking this model shouldn't be too intimidating for flying. My only question is how does it act when it comes to stability at landing speeds because you said it shows a tendency to tip stall at lower speeds?
@JetFlyyer Yes, as someone else mentioned, this plane will be much easier to fly than the T-28. Also, the Decathlon doesn't have ailerons. Also, yes, this plane will tip stall at slower speeds especially on slower turns. Almost the same stall characteristics as the T-28 actually. Overall, this is an excellent flyer but not recommended as a beginner plane. Thanks for stopping by!
@deathcomesarippin No, I would recommend that you get the Champ, or the Super Cub if you haven't flown for a few years. This plane likes to tip stall at lower speeds due to the short wingspan, & low wing dihedral. This plane is more suited for intermediate fliers. Thanks for stopping by.
I have a question. Want kind of airplane would you recomend for begginers that go pretty high and is easy to fly. It has to have a price rang at or under 135$. Thanks.
@hahahahahahaha193 Hold the prop, & put the screwdriver in the hole on the prop hub, & then turn counter clockwise until it loosens. To get to the motor you have to take the cowl off after removing the prop. Is your prop shaft bent?
@draco900000 Flying over tall grass, or hayfields will help minimize any crash damage, until you get used to flying this plane. Due to the shorter wing, & large rudder, this plane has a high tip stall rate, & turns should be made with caution for the 1st few flights. We carry the replacement motor shafts in store. Give us a call if you need a new one, & we'd be glad to ship one out for you if you live out of our area.
@draco900000 EZ fix with 2 pairs of vice grips. Just carefully bend it back the way it was. If it's real bad, & you need a new motor shaft, we have them in stock.
If you are flying a Trojan than it should be easy for you.

@eprocks6054 Either the Hobbyzone Champ, or the Parkzone Micro Cub. The Champ has more power, & is easier to fly between the 2.
