Default How to Avoid the dreaded Snap Spin???

Then stay with a CG more in the middle to the front of the
manufacturer's recommended settings.

The Cap is meant to be aerobatic though... just remember that it won't
float in like a trainer, and that you can't haul back on the stick
like you can with a lot of other planes, without snapping or tip-stalling.

Don't go too far forward on the CG, or you'll end up running out of
elevator on landings, and possibly tip stalling the thing anyhow.

It's just a different bird. If you've got the incidences set right,
and the CG in the recommended range, you'll just have to learn
its idiosyncrasies from there, and fly it the way it wants to be flown.
