  • what engine do you have on it?

    i have ordered a seagull decathlon 40 and not sure what to use?

    will an asp 90 4 stroke be good?

  • I used the Super Tigre .61with a Bisson muffler, venting out the bottom. Its larger than recommended engine but in reality its the perfect size for this plane. From posts I have read it would be underpowered with the .46. An OS .55 might be a good option. The 90 4 stroke would be good but may require additional modification and weight on the tail.

  • Is this the 40 size ?

  • The engine was out of tune, when I dropped speed for the landing the mixture must have been to rich.
