i had their cap 232 and it flew like crap. loved snap rolling more than most caps and using the lightest components possible it had a wing loading of about 32 oz/sq foot! that is outrageous. the wing span was only 64 inches so it was a brick that loved to snap roll over at landing speeds. I am not sure what kind of wood it is they use but whatever it is, it is heavy, weak, and warps like crazy. it is not any of the hobby shop woods, i bet it is native viet namese balsa substitute. (they are made in vietnam). the covering looked great, but it did not look very good for long because it broke on everything from coliding with small insects in the air to toes, to foam padding. that is right, foam padding. the color that was supposed to be "in between the plastic" actually came off when i used rubbing alcohol to get excess epoxy off. i am not joking. when i wiped it off with rubbing alcohol, there was a light spot around the fin and the paper towel was blue. fins were weak, cowl was the wrong size, badly deformed, landing gear broke in just 6 landings, none of them bad. it was nowhere near worth the $200 for that arf. they should label them arc for two reasons. one, they could eleminate the covering and let you do it to keep some complaints off, or two, arc stands for almost ready to crash. after about a year of having it, my left wing ripped off in a simple shallow spin. it just folded back and headed in a heap for the ground from about 600 feet of altitude, with the engine running and all. the rogue wing simply fluttered away never to be seen again. i tried to shut it off but to no avail. luckily the simi valley fires had just swept through and it rained the day before so the ground was all soft ash. regardless, i managed to bend my crankshaft and broke most of my servos. on my way over to the crash site i found a high altitude weather probe lying there so i took the salvagable parts off the cap, and left the rest there so that i could carry the weather baloon. that is how much i hated it. i rathered to leave the plane and take the weather probe instead.
