I have my eyes on this plane also. I just saw it in my LHS for 79.99 not bad for the preformance I read here. I might get this within the week. I"m planning to put AXI2212/26,pheonix25,TP1320 and a DX6 radio. I hope someone can provide a video and post it here. This is my next plane....currently I have a SS,mini supersporter ep and a foam tribute ep. I will always look at this thread everyday. Thank you guys

MY LHS has the Cap 232, I've examined it close up and I like the wing design as it's double tapered like my skeeter 30. I will buy one of these planes at some point. Yesterday, I crashed my lil banchee due to what I believe was receiver failure. Are any of you guys having trouble with the Berg Microstamp 4L?

Hi I need help on my set-up. Here is my set-up AXI2212/26 with 10x3.8SF,phoenix25,3TP1320,DX6 radio with 2HS55 and 2S75. My question did you guys do the right trust angle on the motor mount with AXI? And I need suggestions where I can put my HS55 and s75. Thank you very much.

I put right trust into my 2212/26 by using the two wedges provided in the kit, just follow the directions. The motor sticks out a little farther then I like (even when cutting back the motor mount stick) but it balances fine.
I would use the HS55 on the aileron and the S75 on the rudder and elevator but, you can reverse that. It really won't be a big difference.
Its a fun plane to fly I had to put in some mix in during knife edge flight, it pulled toward the gear on left rudder and pulled toward the canopy on right rudder.

I haven't flown the cap 232, but I've seen it fly. A guy at the park I fly at says he doesn't like it much, he has the 400 in it. Maybe next time I see him I'll convince him to get a lil Banchee. I have a LB and personaly, I think they are they greatest balsa profile (heck just profile) 3d parkflyer out there. My absolute favorite plane! Gonna fly to day actually.

I just got this thing put together on saturday, it flies great and is very sturdy but it is a little bit underpowered with a Himax 400. flies almost any 3D menuver I can throw at it(except prolonged hovering) only complaints is that the pre-cut servo holes are too small for HS-55s or other micro size servos of that size. The carbon fiber control rods included are weak and flex/break in flight. I replaced them with normal control wire after the first flight, almost crashed controls were so sloppy.[

Can someone give me a link where I can see 3D and pattern maneuvers. I know I've seen one with sim demo. Thank you very much.

the 450 has killer power for this plane. A 480 will be a over killer. Plus you like to keep this plane light as possible as it better in aerobatic performance

I am going to try a rimfire 36-30 1450 with a 12x3.8 apc slow flyer prop running on a thunder power 2s 2070 pack
I am waiting for the battery
pointing up the nose with a 4200nmh 6 cell pack from one of my cars hanging and it was still pulling my hand up
think I have around 2 lbs of thrust "just a guess"
all up weight should be 17.5 oz
cant wait to hit the air with it should realy honk
