The Capishe 50 is nice but I prefer the Capishe 120 after the way I saw it perform a while ago down at haistings.

It surely is and I hear that island Hobbies are considering a limited production run.........

I flew the second version of the Capiche 120 weekend before last and had a wild time.

Did a greaser of a parachute descent from about 400 ft, virtually no forward movement (was breezy) and plonked her on the grass in front of us with a blip of throttle at the bottom...

Also came in for a slow k/e, stopped it, and flew k.e backwards slowly.... It is extremely light.

Even did some sheep tickling with the rudder.....

Will post a couple of images.

Hows this for a classy pic and no photoshop treatment here I promise.

We used the spinner and prop that is shown in the RCME and used a flash to capture the website address against the shimmer of the prop colour.. cool eh !?

maybe his forefathers were Welsh hey
from the newsletter:



Many have asked about shipping to the US. We are looking at choosing a US distributor but this is yet to be finalised. In the meantime we can no doubt organise one off shipments direct but we need to examine the practicalities first. In due course a US agent will be the preferred approach.

is that CNC pack comming with balsa and sticks to finish the rest off or do we supply that?
Also Malcom, do you have any 3 views of the Capiche from your CAD plottings so i can try a few diffrent colours out.
I'm liking the 120 look covering over the 50, dunno why, basicly the same
