Default Kangke cap 232 120size excelence

hi guys just bought my new 1/4 scale cap 232 made by kangke (supercraft) ARTF.

i have not started to build it yet but from wen i oppened the box quality ignited my eyes. the quality of the balsa joints are really precise and the covering quality which i was told was ultra cote (profilm) is put on better than any other artf i have had and i have had a fair few (fantastic quality).

so now u guys are probly wondering how heavy this plane will come out now i can tell you its quite alot lighter airframe etc than my 1/4 extra and that came in at 13lbs. i am exspectin this to come out 12lbs with a mackay aw30cc gas engine.

people who want a slow flying plane like i did when i was researching this plane i dont think this is going to be a problem this plane has 1200sq of wing area which in theory means it will fly very slow indeed.

however i have not yet put this plane togeather but ill keep use updated on this new bird if use like. an ill put some pics on when its finished and give a flight report hows that.

oh yes an the new hardware Kangke are starting to put in is really really good. blue metal anodised horns (nice) and all push rods with metal chrome clevisis. this is definetley the best hardware i have ever seen in an artf infact i dont think i could do much better my self by goin out an buyin new hardware it really is descent stuff.


ps: i have just been told that the 1200sq.in is not all on the wing they measure the botton side of the fuselage too.
but i think it will still fly slow enough.

pps. wow the sisze of that cown it seriously looks like its of a 1/3 cap.

ok
