Default RE: 91" Cap

The 91" seems like a winner. If you take a look at the possible wing loading depending on the engine used - its possible to get something with an incredible amount of power and the lightest wing loading of its class. If the 260 is a floater at a wing loading in my case of 30 OZ per SQIN - then the Cap with say a 3W 75 or possibly the new ZDZ 80 with an AUW of 20lbs or under and a wing loading of 20 OZ per SQIN or less would be awesome. I imagine with some ligthening here and there you could get the AUW down to 19lbs or slightly less.

Now I am not just spitting this out. If you take brand "X" 33% Yak with a similar setup your wing loading will still come up to be a few OZ more and also cost a few hundred dollars more than the Cap.

The same power class of motor will also have more kick in the WH 91" Cap as well. Just something to think about.
