Just got the plane, thinking about engines,

OS 1.6??
Saito 1.8?
MOKI 2.1?
DA50?

All of these have gone through my mind a few times. I am leaning to the OS but I want to make sure I make the right decision.

Any advice will be appreciated.

I have this plane and have started a thread on engine choice. Do a search on "kangke cap 232" and mine will be within the first few. From the replies that i have gotten i have decided to go with the Brisson 2.4. I also have a link in there about a smoke system on this bird with a Moki 2.10. The crazy thing is the brisson weighes almost equal to the moki. and from the vid he had no problems.

As soon as i figure out how to post pics. I will have some up of the construction. I recieved all my electronics today and look to have the plane up by next weekend.

Mark Novak is gonna be pissed that you told him to do a search. Try checking in the ARF section as you'll get more responses.

If you preference is glow... Moki 1.8, Moki 2.1, ST3250, ST3000 I have seen the Cap fly with a Moki 2.1, and it was a plus 3D machine (the owner had to double bevel the trailing edges of the control surfaces... he said it was easy to do.. took about 2 hours). I have the Cap with a ST3000, and it has "my definition" of unlimited vertical. I'm not into 3D, but it will hover at about 1/2 throttle. I use a APC 20x8 prop.

IMO, the airframe will handle any 2.4 gasser.... just do the normal stuff like pinning the firewall, and beefing up the landing block.


btw, for 3D, the ST3000, ST3250's throttle response might be lacking... I don't 3d, so I just need good top end, decent mid range, and a good idle.
