Default RE: Capiche 50

Just had a really fun two flights with my Capiche today. Ive got the set-up pretty much sorted now. Think i need to mix in a bit of right aileron with right rudder though.
The harrier pull up from a parachute i did rocked the wings a little, but that was my fault, just need more practice.
The Saito 72 is a great engine for this plane. Vertical uplines are effortless and the size of rolling loops you can do is only limited by your eyesight. The noise is really nice too.
One thing i have noticed with the Saito 72 is how quickly it spools up in flight- with normal two strokes you open the thottle and wait for the speed to increase whereas with the saito if you are chugging along slowly at just above idle and then slam the thottle open the thing accelerates like a bat out of hell!(this could also be due to the very light weight too.)
I think youre going to like your plane/engine combination Sprink!
