Status: offline 		I'd suggest the Cap 232. So easy to hover!! The Katana was kinda hard to hover and IMHO it didn't fly as good as the cap.

CAP 232!!

Status: offline 		The Katana takes a bit more dedication to hover... mostly because the ailerons end further outboard. (Prop wash is less over them)

But I'm one for looks and so I kept everything scale.

Status: offline 		When I started, I told Tim from Foamy Factory that I wouldn't be doing any of the planes that he has... So thats why I don't have the Yak 54 or the Ultimate.

I do plan on a Yak 55 though. It sucked the big one in the full scale world, but I think it has the correct proportions for Precision 3D...

Right now I am finishing work on the Advantage Bipe (SWEET!) and then I've got a few others (Super Chipmunk, CAP 10, and the F-15/F22)

I am also looking at the cap, and i was wondering what motor, battery, prop, etc. you were going to put in it. I don't know much about electrics so I'm kinda a newb on this one. I'm not quite sure what would be the best setup. THx,

Right now i have everything going into a Eflight Ultimate. So when i tear that up, i'll put it all into the Cap. I can't wait!

Status: offline 		Once again, i don't mean to sound noobish, but is that a good setup for virtually all 3d? I have been checking out some sites about them and I'm not sure what engine will do what and so forth. I just want to make sure if i pay all this money i get it right the first time I was looking at www.3dfoamy.com and their specs, but was still unsure. I believ that is where I'm gonna order the cap from, but like i said, i am unsure about everything else. Thxz again.

Oh, i'll post what im gonna put in her up in the forums on last time to make sure all is ok.
