Aircraft Description
In the words of American Champion Aircraft, the manufacturer of the renowned Super Decathlon, this versatile and thrilling aircraft allows you to “experience the world upside down.” Sporting an aerobatic Lycoming engine putting out 180 HP, this sleek aircraft rockets through the sky, performing maneuvers, spins, twists, turns and rolls with ease.
The Super Decathlon sports a mostly fabric body, detailed in the iconic starburst pattern detailed by American Champion, provides a modest fuel burn, and cruises at a zippy 140 KIAS. In addition to be an excellent, stable tailwheel trainer and solid aerobatic platform for instruction, the Super Decathlon is also quite simply a blast to fly.
If you want to safely and comfortably explore the possibilities of tailwheel and aerobatic flying, the Super Decathlon is your airplane.
