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.[]

Thank you very much Steve for that info. I have flown her a couple of times already. The CG is a bit tricky coz I put it 1 inch behind the leading edge of the wing and it balance well on my CG(4 3/4") mark. But when I flown her she is tail haevy. So I watched a couple of videos and tried to figure out the battery placement. Tomorrow I will try to play with the batt positions. So Steve you said something about mixing is that hard to program. I have a DX6 and I don't know if its capable of doing so. Teach me how to do the mixing. But you can always do this KE at normal rudder stick movements right.

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.

Has anyone tried this plane with the Eflte Park 480 in it? I realize this is more motor than needed but I have one floating around and thought I would try it...

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
