A quick update on my Cap - X...

It has been a rollercoaster ride! What a great plane to put together and it is totally beautiful in my opinion. I hated to add all the weight (over 10 ounces with a Saito 1.80). After flying 2 flights with the Saito I pulled it out to go with a FPE 2.4 gasser. The weight went from 12 lbs 2 ozs to 12 lbs 13 oz with the gasser. I could notice the increased weight in flight but I really like the way the FPE pulls it around. The Sig Extras with the FPE 2.4 motors are comming in at around 14 lbs (including the one I had) with the same wing area. The Cap - X seems to out pull them being over a pound lighter. I do have to work on my trims and put more right thrust in it as well as mix in right rudder when throttle is applied. I really enjoy this combination and would like to recommend this as a good engine selection. You can point it straight up and it will go forever but I wouldn't use the over used words of "ballistic" or "rocket" for power. The FPE 2.4 is just a great combination for 3-D or IMAC style flying with this airframe.
