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.

Bubbagates I think you really summed it up !! I have mine converted to electric, about 30 flight so far, and my first Cap. My friend loved the way it flew, so he built one with a slime pump Long story short- He had another pilot, very experienced, but not with Cap's fly it- well, I think he's been flying these 3D fun-fly (Majic) too much lately- he made a large loop to come in for a landing- I wasn't there- but there's not much left. From what I gather, he pulled up elevator too abruptly with no power on the downside of the loop and it snapped into the ground- Being smooth with this plane is a MUST...be smooth, and don't fly it like a point-and-shoot 3D plane and it is very enjoyable.
