Model Tech CAP 21 (72 inch) HELP!!!
HI GUYS,I just got a gorgeous Model Tech CAP 21. This thing is so beautifull that I'm afraid of flying it. I do not have any of the specs. I need the CG and elevator travel ammount.
The plane is 72 inch wingspan, 55 in lenght, it's about 11 lbs with a 120 rfs on the nose.
Thank you

30% of the MAC will get you close to the desired CG.
Low rate travel should be around 15 degrees and high rate as much as you get, typically 50 degrees or so (kind of depends on your abilities, you can always program less and add more as you become accustomed to the model). Program some expotential for aileron and elevator, maybe 30%...
These Cap were well know to be snappy which is of course an atypical CAP thing! Keep up the speed on the landing...
