Status: offline 		Remember this bird. I have had the extra 330, two caps, two G-300's, two edge 540's, and now I want my cap back. So I have decided to have a kick a$$ cap built. With the lighter foam that Dennis is using, and the lighting techniques that builders are using if I could get this plane under 35lbs it would be awsome. I have a carden edge under 35 lbs so it should not be impossible.

I will use carbon gear, spinner, and tubes.

So here is the question, what do people think about the ZDZ 160 super vs the champion, or should I go 3w or da?

how far should I lower the stab, I do not compete so I could care less about the rules. As far as resale no body wants a cap anyway.

lastly are there any other modifications I should consider

Status: offline 		Yes, It's possible to run cans on Cap. I"m flying one now with cans in it. DA sells a short can that is fat. It's the shorter MTW can that they carry. It will fit in there if you are running a DA-150 up front. If you are running a 3W motor, then still put the MTW short can in there, also get the headers from 3W that go along with the engine, then modify the rear OD of the header or the front OD of the Can to "couple" them up. Charge, Fuel, and fly.
