Default What he said!

I have to agree with Chris, too. I'm flying a 77" D&L Cap powered with a ZDZ 40RV. It weighs 12 lbs, 14 oz. It has 1100 square inches of wing area. It would be nice if it weighed less.

Keep the speed up, use only a very small amount of throw on low rate elevator...something like 1/2" to 7/8"...depends on the plane. If you get stupid and pull full up at ANY speed, even on low rates, most Caps will roll out or snap. Use your dual rates to go to 3D rate for the wild stuff, then switch back to low rate for pull out. Oh...don't try a blender on low rate like Jason did.

It's a high performance machine that you really can't get too relaxed with or it will bite you! You gotta fly it!
