Overview
The E-flite Decathlon RJG 1.2m is one of the most capable and best-handling models of the iconic aerobatic trainer ever! It's a replica of the Decathlon that RJ Gritter (RJG) flies in airshows across the United States and sports a classic yet modernized red, white, and blue trim scheme. It also features a variety of scale details including functional LED landing and navigation lights, wheel pants, and wing struts. The one-piece wing is easy to install and remove thanks to hands-free connections and thumbscrews, and the struts snap into/out of place without the need for any fasteners or tools – though it's already conveniently sized to be easy to store and transport without disassembly! Digital and metal-geared servos along with ball-link equipped linkages provide precise and reliable control for smooth sport to aggressive aerobatic flying. The 3S and 4S compatible power system features a 45-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart Lite ESC, and the BNF® Basic version is equipped with an AR631 receiver to deliver real-time telemetry data along with AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select plus motor/thrust reversing. All these details and 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!

    Great job with the unboxing Brothers . Best of luck on the maiden 🫡 SALUTE
  • Horizon Hobbies strikes again! Eeeeowww, such beautiful and sexi engineering here, and you're right; this shouldn't be too hard to fly, even after a beer or two, and the lights will guide you to RC glory.. This should be v stable and a joy to fly. I can't wait to see those slow passes.. Big salute as ever from London. 🌟👍
  • @warbirdflyerF4U
    Another beautiful bird thank you for sharing the unboxing my favorite brothers 😊 I'm sure Robert will really have fun flying low and slow with this plane 😊
  • @brandonlamar2361

  • @stevearmett1565
    Now that looks a fantastic plane you can tell just by looking at it the quality shines through in every aspect ! Looking forward to seeing that fly guys 😁👌
  • @davidgilbert8051
    Good morning and Big Salute from Mid Michigan! Most people that handle packages do a good job. But, it only takes one to damage the box. Looks like the manufacturer did a good job to help prevent shipping damage. Great zooming by Blaz! Your enthusiasm for the sport is genuine and youthful. Just like a. Kid opening a package on Christmas morning! Your videos always bring a smile to my face and happiness in my heart! Thanks.
  • @emem1613
    😁I felt the same joy unboxing mine. She’s a beauty, eh! Can’t wait to watch your maiden Robert and Blaž. Thanks, Mark
  • @quilong
    this plane with wheels from TTE and flaps - the ultimate Bush Parkflyer!
  • @JohnHill-jm7tm
    Look at Dis 👍. Another awesome video of a great looking plane 👌. This Old Man from Washington NC enjoying with my coffee ☕. Adding to my Want List close to the TOP ❤️. Do love me some Brothers and Alina ✈️🧔💝💝💝
  • A brilliantly engineered model, Robert. Truly stunning. Can't wait to see it in Slovenian skies 👍👍
  • I am not fan of these fastfood planes for broad public… but cpt. Blaz definitely deserves thumb up for singing Magnifico for us 👏 🇸🇮❤ Here I come…
  • @matttownsend3069
    Awesome looking airplane! He’s flying at an air show I’m going to on Saturday at USMC Air Station Cherry Point NC. Looking forward to hopefully meeting him and seeing his show.
  • @rcchronicles25
    Stunning bird. This will look so sexy flying by low and slow 👌
  • @silvolkers
    Robert and blaz a Bert good morning its always Nice to watch youre video’s gr from Netherlands
  • @PfalzD3
    What you said about the Post men is true. I bought a Pfalz D3 From that Moldovian kit maker you recommended. When I got it it was smashed. Turns out it was stepped on in transit and the post office in Europe slapped cardboard and tape on it. Pity, It was a beautiful looking plane.
  • @billstewart5421
    I have one of these Decathlon planes. My only complaint is it’s just too small. Flys great no complaints in the performance department. I think they made it smaller so R. J. can haul it in his full scale Decathlon in one piece. It’s an awesome little flyer just a bit too small.
  • Hey cool the real life RJ Gritter keeps his decathlon a few hangars done from me at KHWY. I will tell him about you.
  • Your both legends been a fan for years ..got i big yt International f4u corsair 35cc 2stroke lots upgrades for sale if u want ..be awsome if u can have her as I'm too scared to fly it haha 😅
