Hi, I own a Bellanca Decathlon upgraded to 160 hp, been flying it for 7 year now, but I been looking for an acro plane with more power.
Looking around the web, at Barnstormer, found the Skybolt airplanes, never new about them before. The 260HP with CS prop, might do what I need, but reading some of the posted here, I am worry about fuel capacity and CG!
I am from El Salvador, and will need, when I find it, to ferry the airplane throu Mexico where I need more than 2 hours and reserve.
Be kind and talk to me about this beatiful airplane, pros and cons. Thanks
