Cap, Giles, and Extra are on sale for $99. They make a good match for a Norvel .074

Lynn Where are they on sale? I will order one this week- how about the two bi-planes - are they on sale? Thanks, Dale

I clicked the Hobby People link at the top of the page. Or go to www.hobbypeople.net

The biplanes are not on sale. If I were to order one today, I would get the Cap.

Thanks Lynn I think I will order the cap, but I have been looking at the two bi-planes- they look cool.
What engine would you use on the Cap? I have a Norvel .061. .074, .15, and a .15 OS as well as a .26 4/s OS What do you think? Dale

I know my Giles did very well with the .074 and the small muffler worked out just right with a horizontal mounted cylinder. All I had to do was use a short plastic exhaust extension out the bottom of the cowl. There is a thread with a Cap that is powered by a OS .10 the muffler extends back through the firewall. Have you seen the threads on the Giles and CAP? You can see how to mount your engine.
I don't know how it would fly with the larger engines it would probably be overpowered and noseheavy. I had to add weight to the tail on my Giles. It comes with a 7x4 prop for the electric motor which is what the .074 uses.
I have looked at a Wattage CAP in the box at the local hobby shop and it looks Nice!!
You may be able to sell the electric motor and get some of your money back.

Hey Lynn, how come you are speaking in the past tense about the giles?

My Wattage Giles met an untimely end on its third flight. (I lost it in the sun)
The fuse was tuned into monokote holding the broken frame.
But the wing only had a broken spar which I epoxed back together and recoved. I mated it to my Simple Extra.
It now lives on as the Simple Extra- Giles!
