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

Hi All,

I just finished balancing. I had to move the 1800 Mah battery forward to a spot between the 32 oz fuel tank and the engine servo.

I am at 13.3# dry (no lead added). OS BGX (no extra cut outs in the cowl), pitts muffler, tru turn 3" spinner, JR 8411s in wing, Hitec 80 oz in tail installed, Planes Plus tail wheel, same small problems as others experienced, elevator servo blocks pushed out when installing arm, Biggest concern is loose covering, I ironed the entire plane, but I am constantly finding loose covering.

I will test run the engine on the next nice day, snow is still forecast in Chicago. Hopefully fly 1st week in April.

I am very satisfied with this ARF, I hope it performs as advertised.

John
