Default RE: Capiche 50

Well, I have a spare GWS knocking around. If Ripmax can hold my stuff for 5 weeks I will accumulate enough cash to pay for the stuff by not buying lunch at school, ever.

Well I guess I've learnt something, do regular range checks you stupid ******* and if its old and crap and doesnt work throw it away. Especially if you have an FF9 on order, and watch out for Fed-Ex charging £60 AFTER you pay for shipping.

A 1.6 kg (3.75 Lb) Capiche50 would be incredible! Its possible so if my regular Capiche is totally written off I'll get my plans and make a lighter version. On the subject of carbon U/C for the Capiche again, I know that GRP is very flexible, which sounds good to me because that means spreading out the load on a landing, But carbon is less so. Plus if a carbon U/C breaks it won't be funny, well maybe afterwards.

So even tho its only £1.91 for an upgrade, is it really worth it if I can bodge it with GRP, which may last longer and is supposed to be more flexible? I need stuff to last because if I keep spending and crashing its free flight all the way.[:-]
