Product Information
Experience the thrill of aerobatic flying with the E-flite Decathlon RJG 1.2m RC plane, a true-to-life replica of the iconic Decathlon. Widely known as one of the best aerobatic trainers, the Decathlon’s design roots back to the Aeronca Champ and Citabria aircraft, upgraded with inverted fuel and oil systems, plus a nearly symmetrical wing, enabling incredible "outside" and inverted manoeuvres.
Decathlon replica with RJ Gritter's touch
Designed in collaboration with aerobatics expert RJ Gritter, the E-flite Decathlon RJG 1.2m seamlessly blends the spirit of full-scale aviation with RC aerobatic precision. RJ's passion shines through with its scale details, LED landing and navigation lights and RJ's exclusive 2024 airshow season scheme to finish it off. Whether you're a low-time and intermediate pilot honing your skills or an experienced pilot seeking aggressive aerobatics, the Decathlon RJG delivers an authentic flying experience.
The model is equipped with a powerful brushless motor and a 45-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC. This versatile power system accommodates 3S 2200mAh and 4S 3200mAh LiPo batteries, allowing you to choose between cruising and unlimited vertical performance. When paired with compatible transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, iX12 to 20, and others), the ESC allows you to experience the convenience of real-time telemetry data, including motor RPM, current, and battery voltage. It also features optional motor/thrust reversing, offering special ground handling and other capabilities!
Exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE technologies
AS3X technology smoothens out wind effects, providing a locked-in feel, while optional-use SAFE Select adds an extra layer of safety with pitch and bank angle limits and automatic self-levelling. And if you don’t want to use the SAFE Select features, you can bind the receiver normally and only the AS3X will be active.
Tailored as a Skill Level 2 model, the Decathlon RJG serves as the natural progression after mastering a trainer. Suited for low-time and intermediate to experienced pilots, it strikes an impeccable balance between convenience and capability, offering a thrilling RC aerobatic experience.
With its classic red, white, and blue trim scheme, the Decathlon RJG features a one-piece wing designed for easy assembly and disassembly. Snap-in/out struts and hands-free connections make storage and transportation a breeze. All these features combine to deliver a very convenient and extremely capable scale model that’s a great choice for low-time and intermediate-to-experienced pilots!
