RE: GREAT PLANES FLATOUTS
AirplaneMan- I tend to agree on many of your points. I have the Cap 580 and love it. I built it light by using a little screamers and a 2-cell TP 730 battery. It comes in at under 8oz. It does not have rediculous power but it flys NICE. It will float around and do most anything you want it to. A friend let me borrow a 3-cell 640 pack for it and...well...it was ballistic. Almost wish I would have bought 3-cell packs for it now. The lightness is the key. I have landed in the grass and grounded it a couple of times...the only damage has been a tweaked wheel pant.
