phew I just finished readin gpage one of Phillys draft review from his website...
looking great and it really gives a feel for howlong it takes to go together as he has done it diary style which I like very much.
When hes finished we shall add a lonk from the capiche website and since we appear to be averaging about 1000 hits a mnth you should get some referral hits philly !
onward and upward as they say....

i just checked my stats, they updated the counter and i need to chance my code or sommit, but last count was 6000 hits by july 13th, pretty good, think i was getting about 700-800 a month.
i felt diary style was better as i was doing it over a week and wanted to convey what you can get done in x amount of time, even tho i think i could have done it much faster if needs be

Hey Edible, is there a thread on RCU that you haven't put those photos on? LOL
They are cool though. Cute kid, and just how I like them - silent!

Its a bit of a contrast when you start starting bigger engines.
Thanks to my cack-handedness, ive sprained my wrist a few times when the thing very strongly backfires when i am swinging it. Inspite of this i like the MOKI -it runs so well.
Bet edible copied my green monster
. Dunno what the next one will be though. maybe one with an ejector seat thats firable in flight!
I always thought when looking at big planes" you could fit a baby in there!"
well haha now someone has!

don't thank me, i just took 3 pics, Kelly AKA Beardking turned them into that 3 view, however, Minnflyer has also played with them and i'm right now downloading the mail with the pics at full size, not full!!!!!!! size, but the size i took the pics at. should be 3 seperate images all big enough to put all the details you want on without looking cluttered, will send to Archie as soon as i've edited them, should be too big to post here, physicaly at least... umm,.. could upload to my site and you get them from there..
first thigns first, in they come. 6.1Mb EPS file at the mo

you are not using the Capiche 50 sticker set then !?
I may well change the scheme a little with several on some white ailerons and put some on the underside too. Its got to be finished being built first so anything could happen - I tend to change my mind quite often about most things...............

Flew the dream a couple more times today, great blue sky and buy did it look good.
i caught my self walking back to the pics from the car and thinking, i own that thing there, that big aerobatic wotsit, thats mines that is.
so i fueled up, went out, gave up trim again ( changed all the links last night, ps, tired to change flap in flight, didn't do much to pitch, so why the up elevator?, tho i think it's pitching towards canopy on KE now thanks to a bit of flap )
more perfect stall turns, a prophang attempt, but it wont yet, far too unstable, wonder if the CofG is too far back, pull up to stall... tail slide, recover to low KE across the patch, slowish roll back to KE, up up up, over the top, KE loop, KE up to stall, power full down, lots of tight bunt things, climb again, sticks somewhere i don't know, wings are pointing up and down and i'm spinning around them ( sure that has a name ) back to climb, blender recover to harrier ( comes down more nose down than before? changed servo horn from bottom to under tailplane, more throw now? ) lots more spins and KE and stall turns
perfect 3 point landing.
i just did one of the most "showy" flights ever, looked like i knew what i was doing and had a plan too, love this plane.
