	The Nature of the Decathlon - DECA, The Decathlon Association
		he decathlon is an athletic competition containing ten different track and field (athletics) contests and won by the participant amassing the highest total score.
		While one athlete may be faster, another stronger and yet a third a better jumper, the decathlon attempts to determine who, among the three, is the best all-around or general athlete.
		So the decathlon is the only event in which it doesn't really matter if the athlete finishes first, third or worse in a particular event.

	AGH Atari 2600 Review -- Decathlon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Decathlon is one of the best party games for the Atari 2600.
		My biggest complaint with Decathlon is that you're going to wear out your joysticks very quickly.
		The best way to preserve your sticks is to try and pick up some 2600 Track and Field controllers (it's just a panel with a few buttons, just like in the arcade game.) In addition, after playing this game, you're really going to FEEL like you've had a grueling workout...

		While there would appear to be little objection to young women in age group A (18-19 years) competing in the decathlon, girls in group B (16-17 years) might be better off remaining with the heptathlon due to the higher probability of incomplete maturation and attendant deficiencies in load tolerance.

	What is Decathlon?
		Decathlon activities provide the opportunity for students to realize the potential of their intellectual ability and to appreciate value of academic pursuit.
		Unlike the Greek Decathlon, however, this is an academic, rather than an athletic competition and a team competition, as well as one for individuals.
		In a typical Decathlon competition, ninth through twelfth grade students are tested in seven areas: economics, fine arts, language and literature, mathematics, science, social science and the Super Quiz.

	Decathlon
		Apparently Rob was or is aware of this FS weakness and his Decathlon airfile, rather intended or not, does not react at all like the default aircraft and you can maintain a stable rate of turn with having to constantly apply deliberate inputs to correct the situation.
		In my practice crosswind landings with the RealAir Super Decathlon I found that it is a superb handling FS aircraft, particularly when compared to the default aircraft (such as the J3 Cub), with the exception that the Decathlon is the one model from ACC that is sans landing flaps.
		In the RealAir Decathlon, Rob Young has overcome some of Flight Simulator’s shortcomings and his airfile for the Decathlon reacts, as close to the real thing as I believe is possible in a PC based flight sim.

	Decathlon Information
		The term decathlon usually refers to an athletic (track and field) event.
		Decathlon (and heptathlon) competitions tend to be more friendly than individual events, with each competitor having different strengths and weaknesses and thus helping each other.
		Due to the inclusion of throwing events, indoor decathlon competitions are impractical.

		It's tough to create an exciting simulation of the decathlon, for one simple reason: As grueling a test as the decathlon is in real life, it doesn't give a gamer very much to do in front of her monitor.
		Of course, the real challenge of the decathlon is achieving that perfect balance of speed, strength, and stamina through various types of training.
		A decathlon simulation without a training feature that actually affects those physical attributes forces you to simply do your best with whatever qualities you've been handed by the program, robbing the sim of any depth or true challenge.

		At first I felt the more powerful Decathlon would be a handful, but actually found the plane was a delight to fly.
		At slow speeds, speeds that were in the same realm as the Champ, the Decathlon handled just like its ancestor; there was little effect from the ailerons, and turns needed to be led with the rudder.
		However, for day trips, the Decathlon was great fun, and I was able to fly from destinations as diverse as our home field of Van Nuys, one of the busiest general aviation airports in the world, to the dry lakes and dirt strips of the Mojave Desert.
