VA-Model 55" EPP FULL FUSE - Decathlon

Meet the VA Models Decathlon! Inspired by the full-scale Bellanca Decathlon, this 55-inch full-fuselage EPP model combines realistic appearance, smooth handling, and an impressive aerobatic flight envelope.

Its lightweight European EPP construction delivers the durability of a foam aircraft while providing the look and feel of a larger built-up model. The Decathlon remains stable and predictable at lower speeds, yet has the power and control authority needed for sport aerobatics, tumbles, and 3D flying.

The spacious fuselage arrives largely assembled and allows nearly all electronics to be installed internally for a clean finished appearance. Removable wings make transportation easier, while the model’s neutral handling makes it enjoyable for progressing pilots and experienced aerobatic flyers alike.
