Default RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

You rang, sir?

I haven't been on RCU much at all in the past several months; been deep into my other hobby.

But today is forecast for perfect flying conditions, so I took the day off and will meet up with a couple pals to burn some gas. I guess I still remember how to fly...

My little CAP is hanging on the wall, ready to fly. It hasn't been out in many months; what little modelling activity I've done lately has centered around fine-tuning my gasser. But my "splat ball bird" (love that one! ) has earned a permanent place in the "hangar".

The gassers are so much less hassle than glow birds, though. My next "project" is a GP Patty. I finally got the BME 50 singing, and after 18 months on the H9 Extra I'm ready for another airframe.

But the little CAP is a great "beater" plane. I certainly hope you get yours sorted out. I cannot imagine (past what I already suggested) what is causing yours to snap. Like Bubba said, recheck your elevator throws. And reflexing the ailerons may do the trick.

Good luck...
