Default What Is The Design Characteristic That Causes A Cap To Snap

Has anyone else noticed how conservative the Mfg's of Caps. are on engine size recomendations but too generous on cg. and
elevator throw. Each Cap I've owned didn't calm down till I moved
the cg 3/4" ahead of suggested location. The worst I had was a
Lion ARF Cap 21 60 size. I was 1/2" ahead of cg given and it
only lasted 20 sec. from shallow lift-off when it went into a nose
up stagger then a pile of foam board. The G/P 231 runs a close
second. Give me an Extra or Edge any day.
