Philly, re photo, worked last night, think RCU may be fiddling with something. Will edit if still not working later.

As for how to do wing tips, yes that is how I usually do them. However you end up with a film edge at the wing edge, and I find it difficult to get that nice and neat. By sandwiching it between the tip blocks removes that problem.

Archie, I have been flying for four years now, and while trying not to big myself up too much, I feel that I am starting to get quite good (though going to the Freestyle comp has really inspired me and I have been pushing myself a lot since then). It'll be a while before I can fling it round like I saw Luke doing, but I'm hoping the Capiche will help me along the learning curve.

I also really like building, so have avoided artfs (Over the summer I got a Flair Lark. It goes OK but after a few flights I'm planning to sell it, I have no connection to it). Every kit I have built from my first trainer has flown well, though some a lot better than others. I therefore do not expect the Capiche to fly like a dog due to my building, nor do I expect it to fly like a dog because it is inherently bad. I expect it to fly well, the question is how well.

Expectations are high, due to this thread, the RCME reports, and the FlyCapiche news letters, so I hope it lives up to them... we shall see. Certainly I'm impressed so far. If the flying is half as good as the build, it will beat most of my previous planes. On the other hand, if CPLR's only criticism was it needed a tweak to the dihedral, I very much doubt I will spot any faults.

As I say, I have built a lot of kits, and even three planes from plans, and this is the first plane I have built in three years "stock". Everything else has had a number of changes during building (eg: my Ultimate's insides taking a complete reworking to get the CoG right), but that has not been neccessary with the Capiche. (though I haven't tried fitting any radio gear yet)

Hmm, having re read this post I hope it doesn't come across the wrong way. I'm not trying to be critical or anything, just trying to explain my position. At the end of the day, I am currently a good sport flyer who enjoys building kits, but one who wants to improve my flying, and so I beleive the Capiche fits the bill 100%.

On build note, my wing is over two thirds covered already (must be getting good at iron weilding) so hope to finish it tonight (wing tips excepted!!)
