Mine is the older version of the Hangar 9 Cap. It has a one piece wing, the newer version has a 2 piece, and a hatch on the top to give easier access to the components. The one I have is still available for $300 for some vendor, you see ads for it here on RCU from time to time. I've got mine flying on a Moki 210, since that's what was on it when a fellow club member was selling it, and it is setup so perfectly that why mess with it and change the engine to a gasser? It's kinda sad for me to admit it, but the best flying plane I've ever flown is my 81" Alitalia Cap that I bought used for $550. It's better than the numerous giant scale gassers I've had, and in many respect better than the $5000+ 100cc Edge I also have. It's much closer in feel to the 150cc Extra I flew that a friend owns than any other 50cc sized airplane.

I just didn't want you to discount Caps. If you like Caps, get one of the Hangar 9s, or the new Great Planes (I prefer the H9 myself, it's more scale looking). Caps are polarizing, some people love the way they look, some people think they are ugly, but everyone has an opinion. That's one of the things I like about them, to me they are beautiful and have a lot more personality than an Edge or Extra, they've got the gorgeous cowl, and the high stab, it's just a great looking and flying plane. The reputation they have for being snappy is something that really isn't there in a modern design, they are just as stable as anything else, and like anything else, the lighter you make it the better it flies. They are about they best plane out there for spins, snaps and tumbling maneuvers, and in my experience, the high alpha stuff is second to none. The only area where it has a disadvantage (in my experience, once again), is that putting it in a hover and keeping it there is a little tougher, it has a smaller sweet spot, and likes to fall forward, but in the end, it is such a predictable airframe that it's easily compensated for.

Here's my favorite picture of mine, it was the last flight of the day with the sun going down, and my friend with the 150cc Carden Extra and I were flying and doing low harriers and hovers in formation. I don't think either of us got our planes more than 100 feet out or 50 feet high that entire flight, it was probably the most fun I've had yet with any plane. I bet you can't look at that picture and not admit that's a gorgeous plane.

The one like I have is available too, if you do a search on here for Alitalia, you'll find a link. Mine is a little lighter than the new one, just due to the extra structure needed for the 2 piece wing of the new one, but for ease of transport etc, I'd pick the new one, even if it doesn't have anywhere near as pretty a covering scheme as the Alitalia.
