Default RE: difference between cap & capX

I am sure CHIP will have some answers for you, but here's a little input from me.....

A 60 size will be able to 3D, but it simply will not "FEEL" like any of the 1.20 size or bigger planes. he smaller these airplanes are, the faster they seem to move in just about every aspect of flight. I think one that that probably helps the CAPX and would help your scrath build project is the AIRFOILED tail section. Also a thicker airfol on the wing may help.....I may need more thickness at the tips and left the same at the root.....As you change the SIZE of the aircraft, the flight characteristics change. So whatever CHIP might have done to the CAPX simply MAY or MAY NOT do any good for a smaller 60 size airplane...... The airfoil ideas will help slow the plane down, but you just can't obtain the same stability of a bigger plane.


I too would be interested in CHIP's response......
