Default Ultimate Down!

Collision was with a 40size trainer going the wrong direction in the pattern. The CAP is built so lightly that it cut through the wing like butter! I maintained control for a few moments will full rates on the rudder and existing aileron but not for long. Also as usual the plane managed to find a piece of concrete slab out in the middle of a field of tall grass to hit...typical. I build a second One up over the next 30days and was pleased to find that the local hobby shop and Fiber Classics that provided the cowl and pants gave me a "Mercy" or "sympathy" discount on the replacement kit and parts....very cool. New model is flown by the good old standby ...A Williams Bros. Pilot and so far plane has flown very nicley and without incident!
