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

Cap X crashed with tail damage and repaired. Hitec digis on everything except throttle which is mounted @ firewall. Tank on CG. OS 160 w/vp-30 pump w/bypass. Have 1800mah battery mounted on firewall for perfect balance. All in all dry weight 12lb 6oz and will definently pull unlimited with wood MAS 18*6. I would like to try an APC but for now the wood works. I didn't feel good about this plane, but every time I flew it I fell more and more in love with it. Rock steady harrier. 13% rudder mix for knifedge and it is strait as an arrow. It will hover but pull out is slow but I think the prop is playing some part in that. Chip was a huge help in getting this bird back together and he has made a fantastic product. The Cap snap is still there but after about 5 flights it was prdictable enough to start 3D........
