Default Sig Cap 231 info for first flight

Hello fellow flyer's,

The first flight was a blast!
I felt very relaxed about flying this beauty because of this thread and I thank you fellas for the positive input about the plane.
Slow Rollin, you were right, I should have made an doctors appointment, I am still smiling.
The Moki 1.35 was giving me a lil trouble (not quite broke in yet)
but all went well as you fellas said, 1 minute into the flight I was doing slow knife edges across the Field with little to no nose drop at all.
Landing it was ridiculously easy. I chopped throttle at the threshold and she flared out like no other plane I have ever had, very slow with no stall at all and with about a 7 mile an hour cross breeze. Finished weight is right at 10 1/4 pound and with the Moki 1.35 I think this will be a great combo with the right setup I am sure this cap will be a great 3D plane. I would like to ask you fellas what prop you think would work well with the Moki for a good 3D starting point.

Thanks again for the help.

Robin
