If the latter, where in California? If you're near the bay area, Attitude Aviation (http://www.attitudeaviation.com/) has a two ECAs, one with spades, a Decathlon, two Grob 115Cs, an Extra 200 and an S2B. I was initially turned off by 'em, but now I've flown with 'em a couple of times and like them a lot. Note I only speak as a pilot, not as an aerobatic pilot-- I've only done two aerobatic flights ever. -Kysh -- | 'Life begins at 120kias' - http://www.lapdragon.org/flying | | CBR-F4 streetbike - http://www.lapdragon.org/cbr | | 1968 Mustang fastback - http://www.lapdragon.org/mustang | | Got 'nix? - http://www.infrastructure.org/ | | KG6FOB - http://www.lapdragon.org/ham | | Give blood: Play Hockey! http://www.unixdragon.com/ | ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:10:32 AM PST US From: "David Pilkington" Subject: Re: Aerobatic-List: Decathlon --> Aerobatic-List message posted by: "David Pilkington" A coincidence - in Australia today, I met some-one who flies at Attitude Aviation and he was very happy with them. The only ones I know personally in Ca who I'd recommend are Rich Stowell and Dick Rihn. My Decathlon Service Manual is 100 miles away at the moment - suggest that you ask about wire tensions at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CitabriaPilots/ or http://www.bellanca-championclub.com/forum Regards, David Pilkington ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kysh" Subject: Re: Aerobatic-List: Decathalon > --> Aerobatic-List message posted by: Kysh > > As ThomasTholmes512@aol.com was saying: > > 1.
