RE: Capiche 140
Lookin good Kane. You guys should do synchro.
My plane is about 10.5 lbs. Started it off on an L on 17X8 but it just didnt seem to have enough punch out of the prop hang. Now got DZ on 17X10 and its much better. Got 18X8 im going to try this weekend if the weathers ok.
Think its mainly to do with all the drag of the big nose and the massive main gear as my Synergy is only about 5oz lighter and on a DZ its near ballistic. Its an excellent plane for the 3D stuff but ive done a bit of F3A with it and as you're flying much faster the drag then becomes an issue. Didnt buy it to do F3A anyway so it does'nt really matter, was just an observation.

ps got +15% differential (15% less down than up i suppose) on my 10X and its rolls much more axially. Hope this helps
