Default RE: Chip Hyde's Cap-X - Building & Flying

I guess I'll start at the recommended settings and see how it feels. I have flown several 3D type planes with huge control surfaces, so I'm really not afraid of that. It will be easy to make adjustments to the expo once I have flown it for a few flights.

Dave, I did not check any incidences-I never do. I don't have the proper equipment, and even if I found something was off, I'm not sure that with the type of flying that I do, it would make that much difference. We're already asking the plane to defy most aerodynamic principles when we're banging the sticks into the corners, I'm guessing a few degrees off one way or the other wouldn't really matter. Some of my best 3D airplanes are ones that have been crashed and repaired and I know they're not even close to being perfectly straight.
