Default E-Flight CAP 232 bp Question

Well i ordered my eflight cap232 bp yesterday, Now i am wondering what to expect once it is built i have seen a few of these fly and they look quite fun my only problem is all i have flown are wings (f27 stryker and R/C Works sickle combat wing).I guess my question is this how should i aproach this plane the first few flights I know im not going to do a bunch of crazy maneuvers the first flights. What is the best way to learn my way around this one?The setup i will be using is a eflight park 450 outrunner, 20amp speed control, 3s lipo, DX6 radio, 11x3.8sf prop. Just for info i would consider myself a good wing pilot I love to fly the fast stuff just am looking for something a lot slower and a little less on the edge all the time. All info is appreciated.

On my cap i use a 10x4.7 sf prop. Seems to work great. Just use dual rates for the first flights and a lot of expo, like 60-70%. Your setup is exactly what i'm using myself just different prop. I have the long 3d servo arms on it to get a lot of control surface movement. The hitec hs55 servos work great. It is a great flying plane and on low rates is easy to fly and can go nice and slow. Goodluck.

I have the same plane and if you dial the manual's stated expo you wont have problems. I think the only difference will be the landings. you'll have to be gentler.
