Gerry is currently at EAA Airventure in the US getting a look at his new Xtreme Decathlon.

Aerobatics Australia, Redcliffe QLD, is the launch customer for the new American Champion Aircraft Xtreme Decathlon, at the EAA, Oshkosh, USA, today.
The Xtreme is a variant of the tried and proven Super Decathlon. It features a Lycoming AEIO-390-A1B6 engine paired with a larger 76in MT composite propeller. The jump to 210 horsepower zcombined with a weight reduction of 62 lbs provides a new level of aerobatic performance. Aerodynamic refinements include boosted ailerons, clipped wing tips, and an airfoil tail.
The ailerons and clipped wing tips contribute to a 33 per cent increase in roll rate, says Mr Jerry Mehlhaf, president of American Champion Aircraft. The increased stabiliser area provides improved control with lightened stick forces.

Mr Mehlhaf said he engine installation adds several new features.
They include heavy duty dynamical mounts, a tuned, four into one stainless steel exhaust and dual oil coolers which all serves to maximise performance. There will be an official press conference on Monday Morning at 9-30am (American time).
