Default RE: Capiche 50

I didn't pay a huge amount of attention to either Luke's or Kevin's flights (trying to sort out my new GP Cap 232).

However a few highlights I did pick out were:

Luke did a fantastic elevator landing. Just about straight down in the strong wind, but absolutely steady. He also did something that was a real surprise when he did it, a roll straight into a wall. Looked very impressive, and the wall is unexpected.

Kevin's flat spins were very nice, the rate of decent controlled by the throttle til it was stationary. He also did a nice rolling loop, and some nice steady prop hanging.

Not much to report on my Capiche, fuel proofed the firewall, and started covering the rudder. Things calming down in the office this week so hope to get it all covered and the decals on by the end of the week, and if all goes well engine and radio installed on Saturday so I can fly it on Sunday (unlikely I'll be able to do it in a day, but you never know).
