Default RE: CAP 3D 25 Size 1100 mm

ORIGINAL: forestroke

i had this model before and it flies extremely well. the finishing is of good quality but you know that since you already have the kit!

my set up was as follows:
O.S. 32SX enough for unlimited vertical
APC 9x6 prop
JETI RX
5 HS-81 Micro Servos
4.8V AAA RX pack

it flew very well and take offs and landings were really non events. 3D performance isn't great since it's short fuse needs bigger elevators and rudder (or a lot more pilot skill!) but it's aerobatics were fun. it's truly a sunday flyer with a little attitude.

the only thing i did different was not put on all the graphics and put some white monokote on the wings so that they don't disappear on final approach (against a green/brown hill).

i lost the plane due to low RX batteries. basically i was out for the last trip of the day. i had charged my pack that day and despite after flying all afternoon, i figured i still had some juice left. on the dive approach of a high speed, low pass the radio froze and it went in at about 60 degrees at three quarters throttle.

i would buy that plane again and have been seriously thinking about it since i've now purchased some 40 fourstrokes.
Any idea of how much this plane's flying weight was?
