ORIGINAL:

Alternatively the Capiche 90 which is what I fly at the moment. Flys well on a 90 stroke, brilliantly on a YS110. Needs hi torque servos to get the best out of it.

Interesting I registered my interest on the site and sent an e-mail confirming that I would be interested in purchasing () size if/when they were released and have heard nothing since. Then up you pop already flying one

Interesting buisinness practice!

I built the prototypes that were used for testing and evaluation. The one I fly is one of these. Mine is the only one flying at the moment.

I don't think production has started yet. Archie, whats the status on the Capiche 90 ????????

Sort of hoped that was the case but maybe it might have been better to have mentioned it in your post

It will beat the pants off a Funtana.

Mines just under 8lb with a YS110, the wingloading is actually slightly lower than a typical 140. The Barron lightened his a bit and flew it on a YS63

Thanks for that....
I think your advise is very sensible especially as I have 2 53s and a few spare servos. But you never know, I may go bigger!

I Just thought I'd jump in on this thread as I have finally finished my capiche so can join your club now. I used a MK bell crank for the elevators and carbon pushrod for a very tight slop free set up. I don't know if anyone else has done this as I havn't read 144 pages of this thread. heres some proud pics.

Capiche is a fantastic plane, I have seen them flown by experts. If I build one, which size should i go for.
I see some great pictures of these planes on this forum, I would love to put some of your pics on my new website.

Thanks

Thanks
