    How is this plane? I was thinking about putting a zdz 50 on it for power. Does anyone else have this combo? Do you think it would be good for 3D? Well thanks for the help.

    Jim

    I was thinking about the same setup! how did you like the quality of the kit? The 1/3 scale was a hit, but I've been hearing the 80" cap is a "so so" arf.

    I haven't heard any "so so" comments about this one. The parts on mine fit like a glove. Covering job is great and the paint on the cowl is flawless, the lines mate correctly with the fuse. This has been echoed by a few on here.

    funfly2005,

    I used rocket city, hitec digitals, mpi super switches, a 1200mah on ign and 1400mah on rx. Dry weight is 15lbs 10ozs. Looking forward to flying this thing.

    Dave

    Status: offline     		I just got a GP patty and this H9 Cap

    The Cap is the better of the two in quality, mine is nearly perfect.

    It is an excellent 3d plane and a very good IMAC by all I've read but I haven't flown it yet. 50cc would be the right size.
    It should finish out a pound lighter than the Extra and has more wing area.

    (This is Erik from the Tammany club)
    Just finished my H9 80" CAP. I put a Brison 3.2 on it with a Slimline Pitts and a Menz 22x10S. Final weight without smoke is hair over 16 lbs. (might not add the smoke after all). Fit and finish of my ARF was spectacular with one exception- the wing bolt holes which come predrilled were slightly off causing a major headache! I also had to modify the box a little to accomodate the muffler (no big deal). I ganged two servos for rudder (maybe overkill? maybe not!). I also sprayed the gear white - looks very cool! Hope to see yours at the field soon.

    Erik

    This is Jimmy from Tammany.

    I want to get the best power and lightness out off this plane. I think if you want to do 3D with smoke you need a little bit bigger plane but it would be fine if you didn't want to 3D. Or just use a glow engine on it and spend big $$$$$mula in fuel.

    Tell me when you are going to fly it I will come and watch. I bet it looks good with that white gear too.

    See ya at Tammany or even Slidell.

    Jim
