It Flies!
I am really pleased with the Capiche 50.
The Saito 72 hauls it skywards like a rocket!
Even though i am not at all comfortable 3Ding it yet because i am unfamilliar with it, it is very precise in rolls, and knife edge is fantastic!
Mine will do 45 degree descents in knife edge!Thats almost a knife edge elevator!It needs a liitle bit of coupling- when doing knife edge using right rudder you need a bit of right aileron and down elevator, but mine wont yet fly dead straight like The Boys Capiche yet.

Archie's comments about it being slightly more unstable than a 3D funfly in the hover are bang on.

Once i get used to this, and get the setup right, its going to be a briliant performer.

I havent got any low knife edge pics because i didnt feel comfortable bringing it down low yet. It will do a very good Knife Edge vertical eight.

The very light wing is perfect for snap rolls- the wing stops moving round instantly when you centralise the sticks.
Blenders on 3D rates are absolutely mental!

It didnt want to harrier though(it was rocking its wing quite badly)- I had 40 degrees movement on the elevator with the CofG at 130-135mm back.
Maybe i need more elevator movement.

Need to tune the Saito 72 though. The idle at the moment is too high(3500 to 4000 rpm)- it will quite happily cruise around at this idle speed. Looks like i might have to do deadstick landings at the comp tommorrow.
So far though, what a class plane!
