darock is correct in a few statements here and I am just going to add a little more to how a Cap responds to certain commands. I fly them pretty regularly with my current one being the Great Planes 160 size using the Fuji43. I have flown/owned a GP Cap21, Kangke Cap232-120, Matt Chapman (MC) 580 40 sized, Matt Chapman (MC) 580 1/3rd scale, Chip Hydes Cap-X and the current GP Cap232. I think the best one I have ever flown is the Kange one. It's heavy but it's got a really light wing loading and can land really slow

In all of my flight experience I have seen two things that are common to all Caps.

1. Barring the idle too high/too much prop pitch, weight being too much, a Cap that must land fast is either too nose heavy or the weight and idle/pitch is correct but then it has a smaller wing hence high wing loading.

2. The rudder and elevators are hugely effective.

It does not take much of either to get the plane to do what you want it to do. The 40 size MC has a max book throw of 1/2 inch for the elevators and 3 inches for the rudder. If you do much more than that for the elevators you will quickly find that you can get the wing into a semi-stalled condition. If there is any problem with lateral balance you can bet the heavy wing is going to drop. If you have allot of trim into the ailerons, this can also determine which wing is going to fall off. Now add rudder into the mix and now you get into an aggravated stall, not a good thing, especially at a low altitude. Yes, I've had the 580 series tip stall, the difference is it's not a sudden stall, it appears to just drop the wing.

Almost all planes pitch to the canopy when rudder is applied, unless you are really tail heavy. You either fly around it or you trim it out or you mix it out in the TX. Any properly trimmed plane with need little to no mixing. The problem is not allot of people will take the time to work through a trim chart and in most cases doing this on a 40 or 60 sized plane just is not worth the effort, unless you are like me and really want you plane to perform at it's best. It's allot of work and you can plan on spending 30 - 50 flights just getting it right. By then you will know your plane very well. A Cap is easy to do this with. It's a low wing and any changes needed to the main wing incidences are easily done. Changes to a mid wing design are much more difficult. Also most Caps also want to roll into the rudder.

So in my eyes, it boils down to this. For normal everyday flying and hot dogging around, keep the throws exactly as the book says, do not under any circumstances apply the elevator or rudder very quickly. Use a low pitched prop and do not be too nose heavy. In other words be smooth and have the setup close and and you will be pleasantly surprised. Try to horse a Cap around or not be close to the required setup and it will bite.
