Anyone know if Bellanca Decathlons came from the factory with spades? The wings I'm buying have spades with them but there doesn't seem to be STC info to go with them.
Thanks\!

The 76 Decathlon CS that I used to fly had them. No idea if they were factory or aftermarket.
The 78 Super Decathlon that I am currently buying does **not** have them. Nothing in the pristine logs about removal.
IMO the only time you would really care would be competition, to speed up the roll rate a bit.
