Default RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

The specs make it sound more like a warbird. I have a GP .40 size which is a larger bird and only weighs 5.25 lbs. and it can be a pain on landings if you bleed off too much speed, it will stall and fall like a dead duck, can't imagine what this one would be like. My 40 size has a 70 surpass and although it has enough verticle, it is not a 3D machine, too snappy and too small of surfaces (mainly the little strip ailerons). It is a great pattern flier however. I think I'll pass on this one.
