Super Decathlon Aerobatic Airplane Lesson
This lengthy session is a deep dive into learning the taildragger Super Decathlon Aerobatic airplane in all aspects of flight.It has been cut down from a 3 hour session to fit here in YouTube, so the video will have lots of cuts in it where Howard talked to the audience. Howard focuses on airshow maneuvers with real-life airshow pilot demonstrations after the lesson. The four demonstrations are by Howard (basics), Smitty (full motion simulator), AceOfSpades (sim airshow performer) and Charlie Morris (real life Decathlon owner and airshow performer). We also have Nick from Hangar Studos 713, the developer of the Super Decathlon for MSFS live in session. This airplane has been tested and tweaked by real pilots so it can perform every airshow manouver as it should. Available in the sim Marketplace for PC and Xbox.
