all right everyone , i traded for a cap 232 , is anyone flying one of these and will it do what they say it will 3D? i have 61 thunder tiger in it and going to fly sat. or sun. anyinput would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Which cap did you get?

hmm , i think it is a ?????? i dont know it says brietling on the wing. thats pretty bad isnt it! i know its a sixty size.

Do you have any pictures? It is grey with a shark nose and teeth, Kyosho? Either way if it's a 60 size plane and all your running is a .61 TT you can almost throw out the idea of 3D. You'll need a much more powerful engine such as a Saito 100 or OS91 two stroke or equivalent. This also depends on how much it weights...

yeah i ran the 61 super tiger and went got my 90 super tiger of the self and mounted it in the plane. it is grey with sharks teeth on the cowl.

From the description....it could be a Kyosho or a Hangar 9 Cap 232....the Hangar 9 and the Kyosho are almost the same size, although the Kyosho calls for a .61 and above...where as the Hangar 9 calls for a 46-58??? dont ask me why.

I'm almost finished with my Hangar 9 cap and I threw a OS .61 FX on it.....I may fly it this weekend if time/weather permits. I have test run the engine on the plane and I can tell you that I wont have unlimited vertical. Running a 12x7 Zinger, It feels pretty good (holding the plane verticle), but It wouldn't have enough power to hover...

Anyone got a good Idea as far as the best prop for my engine??


BTW, I am in colorado so the altitude does have an affect.....

Is this what it looks like?

yep it looks just like that!

That's the Kyosho Cap 232 .60 size. Nice airplane and I've heard it flies nice...

If its got the red wingtips its the Kyosho...

it has red wing tips

well i flew the cap finallty today. and i must say that it is what it cracked up to be, AWSOME flying airplane. has a nasty stall though. [stalls outbaord] but it handles like its on rails. will nife edge with only a touch of rudder and will stay there all day. lands good. great airplane. will try the 3 d rates next time out just wanted to get the feal of it today. thanks for eveyones help. oh and by the wat the 91 supertiger is great match on this engine.

I'm flying one of these with a Saito .91 and MA 14X6.

This plane allowed me to learn 3D - it does all the tricks...Waterfalls, Harrier/Elevator, Wall, Parachute, Knife-edge Spin, awesome Blenders!

Have fun!

that is great news . being new to the 3 d stuff . i know what all the other maneuvers are but what exactly is a blender. thanks

I can't describe it any better than this link does:
