Looks good. I keep looking at that kit. Maybe after I finish my Skybolt, the Pica Mustang I just found and the Yak-54 ARF I want, I'll get the CAP. You'd think one or two planes would be enough but I guess it isn't.

For the first flights I had the CG right at the recommended 3 3/4" w/6oz of lead on the firewall. I ended up taking off 3 oz of lead after a few flights so I ended up flying her with the CG somewhere around 4" w/3 oz of lead on the firewall.

OK good i haven't got the in cowl pitt's muffler yet and balanced it with no weights at least checked it,and it was tale heavy,i figure when i can find the muffler it will add about 3 to 4 oz to the nose and i will probably have to add another 2 to 3.i built two wings one with the regular servo in the middle of the wing and another with two mini's mounted in the wings about the 3rd bay out from center wing.
