I have one of these planes! I have only flown it once. The firewall is all wrong, there is way too much up-thrust! I am in the process of fixing that. When it was at idle it flew great. Under full throttle it didn't fly good at all. once I get the thrust lines right it will be a great plane. I have a Super Tigre 2300 on mine and it is perfect. Many guys are doing the OS 160 it sounds to be the good combo too. I thought about my Saito 180, but I like it in my Cap 232. There is only one gas engine that is possible and that is the MVVS 1.60 gasser. I haven't heard if it has enough power, but the weight is right. All other gas engines are way too heavy. This plane needs to stay as light as possible.

I think that the wing problems were isolated to a couple of people. There are too many of these in the air with out any problems to make me not worry about fling mine. I do know that in mine, the connecting brace in the wing didn't fit very tight. I added some balsa so it fit tight before I epoxied it in place. I wonder if the wing snaps were because the guys didn't have a good tight fit on the spar. That is just what I wonder. I love mine and can't wait for spring.
