Default RE: Hanger 9 Alitalia 80" Cap 232

Don't have DA or ZDZ. Not buying one either.

Got a whole shelf full (I mean a SHELF full) of Zenoah engines with C&H ignition systems and aluminum mufflers. Thats what's going on it.

I guess I should have rephrased my first post to mainly ask about any problem areas with the plane. Thats what I'm mainly concerned with. (my apologies)

I'm interested in weak LG mounts or weak firewalls. Would love to see pics of mods that anyone did to the plane.

Servo torque used on the plane?
Hinges?
Control rods?
Balance issues? (if it's anything like the 25% H9 Cap--I'll need nose weight--lots of it)

Flying characteristics? Tail surfaces don't appear to be very big.

I'm on the hunt for a nice IMAC plane this year. I have a WM 80" Extra 300S thats put together and a GP 1/3 Pitts that I'm working on right now. I just got this Cap and it looks pretty good. Was wondering if it's a good sequence plane or mostly a 3D huckin' plane? Looks like a sequence plane to me--just from the size of the elevators and rudder.

Thanks
