Default Capiche 50 Review

Started looking at this list for a model to put together over the winter and cant help but notice the support for the Capiche 50. I understand from the Capiche website a review was published a few months ago in RCMW or RCME modelling magazines. Has anyone on the list got a copy of this review either scanned or on paper they could send to me, so I could read it for myself.


Many thanks for your help.

C50 is excellent, I have found only one or two points I don't like. The only REAL thing I dont like howver is that it snaps, BUT this happens with all small planes when pushed, even a trainer I flew! So really, its lovely, elevators so easily I can do it blindfolded (almost)

It makes things more interesting....[8D]

It shows up your weak points, I am improving because this plane shows you what mistakes you were making and shows you a few new tricks!

Rates huh? Im not going on about RATES! We all use RATES!

Im saying for me, it made me improve my flying, when I started looping it it realised it came off to one side, then I realised it was me. A trainer doesnt show up those sort of things, it made me see where I need to improve............nothing about rates.

Coursework blows you would think that teachers could spread it over a long time instead the organise it so it is all at once.[:@]

It's because teachers are just as bad as the students, they forget about coursework and then all of a sudden the module deadline arrives for all of them and it's mass panick and we get the shirt end of the stick. Mind you I did get some work 5 weeks ago thaat I haven't started and the dealine is in two weeks, plenty of time.

I wouldn worry about the review, there is enough info on here (have a look at the main capiche 50 thread) to see how many people think this is a brilliant design.

I flew mine almost every week for a year before I finally wore it out. If you want a 3D capable model that will also do pattern aeros too in a 50 size get the capiche. You will not be dissapointed.

The build is reasonably straight forward and there are good instructions to download.
