RE: Capiche 140 EX and IC version
if you want a decent setup its going to be a seriously expensive model, and whilst plenty have people have expressed interest I wonder how many will actually spend the money. I would really like a c140, but the cost is putting me off. What would I use it for, that I dont currently use the c50 for ? It seems a bit OTT as a model to fart around with on a sunday afternoon which is what I use the c50 for and I suspect most other Capiche users too. Maybe if there were more freestyle /3d competitions and/or flyins then I would buy one.
Personally I would like to see a slightly smaller size - around 66 to 68 inch span , under 8 lbs, for 90 2 strokes, or 120 4 strokes, that way I can use a cheaper engine running on cheaper fuel. I know you could run the c140 with a moki but then I need a sepcialist silencer. Admittedly servos would still be fairly expensive , but I think there would be a bigger market for it IMHO.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong, and that I'll eventually convince myself to get a YS equipped c140, drool, drool ..........
