About the American Champion Decathlon
The Super Decathlon (8KCAB) is American Champion's dedicated aerobatic mount — a tandem two-seater stressed to +6/-5 g with an inverted fuel/oil system, a 180 hp engine and a constant-speed prop. Capable of a full sportsman/intermediate aerobatic sequence yet still a practical tailwheel tourer, it is a favourite of aerobatic schools and weekend competitors.
