What about the CAPX with the OS 1.6 ? Will this be a good combo?
Yep, it will be a great combo. I have the Exteme Aircraft Cap232 which is almost exactly the same plane and an OS160 hauls it well on an 18X6W prop. Just make sure you use 1/8 inch fuel line from the clunk to the carb.

As far as the Edge/Cap/Extra/Yak/Sukhoi debates go I feel like this. Fly whatever plane flies best for you.

I'm the type of person that strays from the "norm" quite often so it's not unusual to see me flying the sequences with my Sukhoi, WH Ultimate or my Cap232. I have also flown the 2005 basic and intermediate sequences with a little bitty VectorFlight Edge 540 and it did them very well. I'll be the first to admit the GS Extra flies the sequences just fine but for me the others fly it just as well and to me just plain look better doing it.

It all boils down to pilot skill and plane setup. Lots of practice and coaching gives the skill and there is nothing like flying any plane that has been run through the trimming procedures and has been properly trimmed and that includes taking the time to get the throws correct for a given maneuver.

Just my $.02 worth
