Status: offline 		JUST FINSHED MY HYPERION CAPS 232. WAS ONLY AN ARF, BUT STILL FUN TO PUT TOGETHER. HOPE TO MAIDEN IT IN A WEEK OR TWO. THE WEATHER HERE IN SPRINGFIELD IL HAS BEEN CRAPPY. ITS BEEN WINDY THE PAST FEW DAYS AND RAINING TODAY. I'VE POWERED THE CAPS WITH HI-MAX 2015-5400 GEARED 6.6/1. WITH AN APC 8X6 PROP. WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW IT GOES ON THE FIRST FLIGHT.HAS ANYONE ELSE FLOWN THIS MODEL IF SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF IT.

Status: offline 		I just got one. Looks like a fun little plane!
3D hobby shop had they on special with 3 E-fite servos, I'm glad I did pass it up!!!
I'm running a E-fite 400 4200kv in a Himax gear box on he 62t gear set and a 9x6e apc prop, at 17.6 amps. It was a cloudy day, but i think it'll tack out over 10,000rpm! couldn't get a steady reading.

Status: offline 		Its been a while since Ive been on here. Heres the skinny on the Caps, flew great with motor setup not a speed demon but a great flyer. Was flying at about 45' when I noticed that I had no elev. control plane was going down and fast. Killed the motor and prepaired for impact. Front was smashed in as well as the fuse sides being broke. All of this caused by a rookie mistake "no screw in servo horn" . Have since repaired it and put my Eflight 480BL outrunner on it. Much faster and whisper quiet.
