Loops pretty much like a normal plane does an ordinary one. On quite a few planes you notice they have to add a bit of wing to the pullout part, but its not necessary with this one, unless youre pulling out at 1 foot like Ali with his c140ex at last years freestyle

So sorry to hear about you being mugged Zep it can be really scary, 2 people out of 6 in our office have been mugged in London. I always used to dress real scruffy if I am carrying cash in a bad area so you can blend in but that does not help anymore.

My Capiche needs a little down elevator with right rudder and a little up elevator with left rudder in KE. Have not tried a KE loop yet, but I notice there is a lot of coupling in a flat rudder turn which I am trying to work out. Also in KE the coupling changes depending on how much rudder you are using, which is pretty normal. Its very good at high alpha, if you fall out of a prop hang you can just scoot off in high alpha KE completely in control. It does not seem to rudder stall at all, my Freestyle (english design like a majestic) has rudder stalled on me which is interesting, you do need bicycle clips for that one. KE with a Freestyle is rock solid otherwise, you can hold the TX over you head with one hand, thumb on the rudder and go from one side of the field to the other.

Used the C50 to learn how to do KE circuits and figure eights.

....I know people

sorry bout that zep, lucky it was only a quid!

uim really looking forward to flyin my capiche, do some really dumb stuff lol. in faxct id really like to fly my flip again and fly that to bits! but i havent got anybolts for the backplate[] any of yyou west owners know the exact dia. pitch of thread and head dia. so i can buy some new ones? i get them direct from a person who sells 1000s a time so ive managed to get 5 sets of bolts, nuts, nylock nuts, and a few washers for 50p!i could check the bolts i took out but my dad lost them!

I agree Profilm it has to be

Just finishing my new 140 off in pearl blue fluorecent red n yellow and white as main colour

I think I have got a scheme for the Capiche 50, if you look at previous issues of RCM&E and the manoevere of the month column, a RCM&E Giles 202 is featured, I think I'll copy that scheme even though I don't like copying other peoples stuff but I can't come up with any schemes.

I'll try it up on the 3 view thingy and see how it goes. I just hope I crop up with something before Sandown as I'd like to buy the film there.

Finishing off my C50 at the mo!

But bit puzzeled about how not to get the rudder carbon push rod push not tohit the elevator when the rudder is at about 45% and elevator is up!![&:] How have you guys that have both your servos mounted in the tail got them set up!

Surrey not going to be down club till sun! Cuban is going tomoz i will get him to look at you C50 thanks

I used a ball link to offset the link inboard a bit. This gives a little more movement although not as much as I have down elevator. Make sure you have a strong servo horn though, otherwise it is liable to twist and blow back, or worst still break.

Alternately make the elevators slightly smaller - probably too late for this. Or use push pull from the front.

using a ball link attach UNDER the servo arm for the rudder - this will bring it closer to the fuz

A very good tip.


Ive got some of that pro lite pearl blue stuff for the c140ex too.
my 140 is gonna be mostly yellow but with some c50 style black and red swooshes

I've heard of ball links but what are they and how exactly do they work?

They are a type of ball and socket joint (remember them from Biology? [&:])

You screw the ball side into the servo horn (or control horn), then attatch the socket side to the push rod instead of the clevis or Z bend. Helpful if you have a pair of ball link pliers to put them together and get them apart again.

The Heli boys use them alot as they are supposed to have less slop, though as 3drcheli says, in higher tourque situations you need strong controll arms as they take the force out of the plane of the control arm, so can induce twisting.

Well I'll see if I use clevies or not but I prefer clevises. The metals ones of course!

I was thinking about the ARTF's I've knocked together and no matter how good they may be they are always lacking somewere, wether its hardware, bad engine access etc etc

I have a feeling I'll enjoy this kit!
