Super Decathlon - with 180hp and CS prop it won't have any problems getting out of most fields, certainly if you can get in you'll get out but without flaps your sideslipping to get it in will improve.
I think the load was increased with the 180hp engine - the 150hp Decathlon CS was marginal load wise with two average sized blokes but performance was still good.
There are a few Super Decathlon's about so it should be possible to have a go in one and relatively cheap to buy, even new.
