whaturi is absolutely correct here. The 27% is very much like the MC 580 on the sim. I never thought of dropping the power on the sim on mine. I'll give that a shot.

I actually have flown/owned both MC 580's (40 size and 1/3 scale, sold them both) and thought they were pretty good though they do have the typical Cap snappiness to them, even on low rates (it's not bad and very predictable) but this 27% just does not have that problem at all. I've tried to force the snappiness and I just cannot get it to do it.

I actually watched whaturi go deadstick yesterday and KE, snap and I think a roll or three all the way down to bleed off airspeed to land this thing. Sorta cool to watch...

I was just looking over the 2007 IMAC sequences and this years basic is pretty easy but from that point it gets pretty busy once into sportsman and intermediate is just unreal, time to print these out and see how the Cap does
