p**s easy to build, ive never built anything apart fom a BARF or two, ive managed to make this nice, strait and true, i havent got the wing done yet but that looks OK to me. Yes, it is more expencive but you can buy the kits from 104-180 odd pounds. On top of that, you dont need a YS or a West, an Irvine 39 and lightwieght radio flys just aswell. Go to http://www.flycapiche.co.uk/ and look under videos and get some, i downloaded all but two i think last night and it looks brilliant to fly, i cant wait to get ine going

Capiche - loverly plane. Can get the kit for just over £100, but that is the bear minimum kit. I would suggest upgrading to the GRP cowl, ABS ones dont tend to last long.

Fantastic flyer, best I have had so far.

I have learnt walls, elevators, parachutes, harriers and blenders on it, plus doing high alpha knife edge stuff. managed a rolling figure eight on mine a few weeks back as well for the first time. It is one plane that really encourages you to push your self.

Incidentally, trying to think which boarding school is in Leatherhead. I now live in Wimbledon, but grew up in Horsley, just down the A246 from Lhead.
