i had a guy visit the field today for me to fly his capishe, he says it under performs and will not prop hang on an OS 91 FS. he explained it would not harrier but generaly flew well.

i asked him how much movement he had and he said absolutely loads. mega twitchy on full rate he said. all sounds good i thought.

i took the transmitter and on full up on full movement i had about 20 degrees. i started to adjust the linkages to get more movement but the servo could not move the surface. i removed the linkage and moved it by hand. i could not get more than 20 degrees with about 100 oz of torque !! oh well i thought. i then asked him to run the engine so i could set it up to provide enough power to hang. at this point i picked it up to put it on the table OOUCH!! this plane weighs more than my capiche 140!! i asked how many bottles of cyano he used to build it "no no no i dont use that, good old epoxy is what you want, you have got to build them strong you know, just incase you crash it"

with that i invited him over next sunday so he can have a go of my capishe 50 and recomended that he buys another kit and builds it propperly!!

to my supprise he agreed and said he will, as he likes the way it flys as it is. boy is he going to like one that is hasf the weight!!

build light, build to fly not crash!!
