The Phoenix Models PH127 Decathlon MK2 66" ARF brings one of aviation's most respected aerobatic training aircraft to life in a beautifully crafted scale model. Inspired by the legendary American Champion Decathlon, this aircraft is renowned for its superb handling, predictable flight characteristics and impressive aerobatic capability, making it an excellent choice for intermediate pilots looking to enjoy both scale realism and sport aerobatics.

Constructed from precision laser-cut balsa and lightweight plywood, the Decathlon features a strong yet lightweight airframe that delivers excellent flight performance while maintaining an authentic scale appearance. The model arrives with a professionally factory-covered airframe featuring an eye-catching colour scheme, allowing you to spend less time building and more time flying.

Scale details include a lightweight fibreglass engine cowl, matching wheel spats, aluminium main landing gear and a sprung tailwheel, giving the model a realistic appearance both on the ground and in the air. The practical two-piece bolt-on wing simplifies transport and field assembly, making it an ideal aircraft for regular club flying.

Designed for both glow and electric power, the PH127 is equally at home with a traditional .46–.55 two-stroke, .52 four-stroke glow engine, or a modern brushless electric setup. Its stable handling, wide flight envelope and capable aerobatic performance make it perfect for everything from relaxed scale circuits to precision aerobatic manoeuvres.

Whether you're adding a classic aerobatic trainer to your collection or looking for a dependable everyday sport scale aircraft, the Phoenix Models Decathlon MK2 delivers impressive quality, realistic detailing and enjoyable flying performance.
