Default Capiche 50

Just got back from a days flying with Ali at our local field (the quiet one!)

i only had the little capishe and Ali had his Capishe 140 EX,, we just had a mad day watching Nathan Rawlings and Gary Sands having a real blender competition and i have got to say this is the first time i have seen a FULL THROTTLE blender!! Nathans Cougar goes from 100mph to a blur !! mental! he was doing it lower and lower until it blended into the ground (we got it all on video!!)

I can also vouch for the integrity of the little Funtanna Airframe, that was doing full throttle blenders without breaking up!! he did get through 2 9001 servos on the ailerons though (striped gears)

Back to the capishe!! my little one was OK but Ali's was flying "different" after the motor change, we also noticed a lot of right rudder trim when he landed so we added right thrust (never easy at the field) also both ailerons were drooping (with full span ailerons there is no root or tip reference) sorted that out and it was much better but appears to be nose heavy now.

still we got a whole week left!!! and my plane ain't built yet and we are both working every day this week!!

we could both make right fools of our selfs!!
