Can someone help? I was looking at buying a morris su-do-khoi or a capiche. Both are intended to be decked out with an irvine 53. I was just wondering how the capiches's flying abilities compare to the su-do-khoi (how does the rudder perform on the capiche? will it knife edge loop?) Can someone give me their opinion on which aircraft to buy?

ive just started bildin a su-do-kohi after seeing one been flown at a pattern comp all i can say is its crazy hovvers knfe edge loops inverted flat spins climbing there awsome havent seen a capatchie fly but i recon the su-do's pritty cool

I went to the Sandown Model Show yesterday and saw the Capiche 50 flying slot. It was excellent! I don't remember seeing one do a knife edge loop but all were torque rolling and doing things like knife edge harriers which looked very cool. The chap who designed it says that knife edge is definatly one of the Capiche's strong points and the rudder throw is huge! Don't see why it wouldn't knife edge loop with enough power and a good servo in the tail. As for the Su-do-koi I'm not sure but plenty on RCU will be able to!

Just wondering how CPLRs new synergy 3D looked, im sure it flew well

Born2fly3d,
I think these are two radically different flying airplanes. The Capiche appears to have a strong pattern heritage with big control surfaces, and would most likely do better in pattern style aerobatics, and be 3d capable.

The Su-Do on the other hand was born as a pure 3D plane. It will not compete with the capiche in the large smooth pattern style aerobatics, but for the really wild & crazy 3D stuff, the su-do-kohi will most likely eat the capiche's lunch.

I think they are really two different airplanes that shouldn’t be compared. You need to decide what you are looking for and be willing to live with its advantages and shortcomings.

wings your right. Capiche is a sport plane that can do pattern and 3D

sudukoi is a fun fly. I have both they are very diferent toys

(you can do a square Knife edge loop with a Capiche)
