You may have to do some kit busting too make it work, such and moving the firewall back. Sounds like too much work, I have the HANGAR 9 80 inch Cap 232 with a MDS 218. It has unlimited vertical, and still comes in under 14 pounds. I don't see your plane with short wings coming under that and you are going to have a really heavy wing load. That not good on landing gears, you find it hard not to pancake the gear or pound it thru your fuse. Mine has no bad habits flying and I have had three Caps of differing sizes. One I crashed going for the club record of aileron rolls and one succumbed to the dreaded trying to land with a setting sun. I have had other fliers suggest putting a just slight reflexed down pitch to my ailerons to combat tip stalls, but my caps haven't been tip stallers. Heck my 80 incher will land itself once place on final approach, have landed it many times without moving any controls perfectly down the center of the runway.
