I moved the CG to 4 and 3/4 and man it was a different plane. Tracked well, no sensitive ele and I even put her into a nice hover. I just couldn't land it! I was getting used to landing a tail heavy plane then all of a sudden I had a plane that wanted to point down instead of up! I just had to get used to it.
Flew the Knife the next day and it was a totally different plane. More forgiving. Not as precise. But fun fun fun!~
Back to the TopCap.
I took pictures of the scab I made (or the scale). It looks big but the crack started at the bottom, wound around the wing and tuned right and headed to the back of the canopy. It is super thick but I don't think I'll be cracking it again! If I didn't over build it I know I would have worried with every hard touch down.
