Default RE: GP CAP 232 3D ARF

I did not think it was boring at all. It was a very good take-off in those condidtions. I stayed with the video to see if you could hit the "handkerchief" of cleared runway when you landed. Nice Job and well done. My kind of enthusiast!

I noticed the flat upright-spin capability when I cross controlled mine. I expect that when the weather gets better we will see a stream of happy campers reporting on this plane.

One tip for short take-offs. If you drop both ailerons about 25 degrees, on a switch, you can get airborne really quickly under 1/2 power. Usually 6-10 feet. It's not good for landing or slow flight but gives great take-offs from rough fields.

For landing you might try 5 degrees of up on each aileron. This airbrake allows for very slow sinking approachs and "almost-stopped" touchdowns.

Regards,

Eric.
