Default RE: RE: Chip Hyde's Cap-X - Building & Flying

Got mine yesterday.

Cowl was busted. Anyone else have this? It appears the way it sits on the box that any pressure from stacking items will push directly on the cowl. The box did mot appear to have been abused beyond normal UPS handling. No biggie, I called and have another on the way.

Construction is impressive! Very light.

The cut vinyl graphics are awesome. Any one else having thoughts of going around them with clear nail polish (or equivalent) to keep all the little vinyl bit on?

I plan on putting on a Moki 180 and using Hitec 5625's on all the surfaces.

I have a Sig Cap and we were able to sit the CapX next to it. Overall, the CapX is just a little bigger all the way around. The rudder is quite a bit bigger, the ailerons go about 1-1/2" closer to the wing root, and the elevators look about the same, but are more scale shaped near the fuse.
