You bet you'll hear it. What do you mean: A Decathlon is a better aerobatic aircraft???????????? GRRRR mad mad mad

Just kidding, Mike.

grin grin

I'm more interested now in the two engine failures/crashes comment now. Care to start a separate thread in piloting, or have you already, and describe the events. Undoubtedly, there are some things you did right that we all can learn from.

I think the choice between a Decathlon and a Cessna Aerobat would be close, even despite the performance gains of the Decathlon, due to the difference in construction. The Cessna being all metal versus the maintenance and impending re-cover of the Decathlon. But dang...who wouldn't want to fly around with a full inverted system? A Decathlon, full inverted systems, 150hp...that would be exciting.
