Default RE: Robbe CAP 21

Welsh,
I had high hopes for it, build two of them, the first one was tail heavy and crashed with a Webra Bully, the second one had a Sachs Dolmar 2.6. 28 lbs buddy.!!!!
I used to build like I was an employee of the Krupp Iron works building Tiger Tanks.....LOL but the weight didnt bother this plane in fact the heavier it was the better it flew. I just ran out of airspeed, altitude and Ideas all at the same time. The closest thing I have seen to come to what this Cap builds like is from the Dymond web site:
http://www.rc-dymond.com/ its called a Super Star, has the same fuse material, same Obechi wood covered foam wings the whole nine yards as they say in the South.

I have thought about getting one but Robe left a bad taste in my mouth and I'm much happier with my Wild Hare Giles 202.

Good Luck.

Johnny
