Default RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

For anyone looking to build this plane I thought I would add a few notes. This is the first plane that I have ever built that balanced without having to change anything. The plane is built with the OS .70FL and a standard 6v battery in the book locations. The only changes are the inverted engine which worked out nice and a scale tailwheel which is a little oversized. In 12 years of building kits and arfs I must say this is one of the best arfs I have done so far. Oh yeah, one thing that bothered me was Tower listed that you needed a servo reverser in the listing but I found that not to be true so I wasted $35. Putting the servo linkage together with the wheel collars works very well and easy to do. I hope she flys as well as it went together. Id have to give the arf a 9.5 out of 10.
Later,
Brad
