Well I have wanted a Cap for awhile and when I saw the 85" Cap I thought this would be great. I bought a white one for X-mas and did my first custom covering job with good results.

So far I have about 10-12 flights on it and have more right thrust in it then you would think neccessary ( to the point where people actually comment on it) and it's still not enough. I have a ton of up thrust which finally seems to be about right. I have also played with the CG all over the place and right now it's slightly nose heavy because i am trying to correct the need to fly with 1/8" of down elevater.

I could have sworn someone said somewhere the incidence on this plane should be 0-0 ? I am there right now for sure but on a dive it pulls to it's canopy, slightly but noticeable.

About the only thing this plane does nice is harrier and it's driving me up the wall. Any type of precision, rolling circles, 4 point rolls etc. is out the window because of the down trim required to fly level. Sure I can mix it out but it's going to take a lot and never quite be right for different manovers.

I am looking for the Cap owners to give me some input here. I have had a WH Edge and the Yak, as well as flown the Extra and they were great but this Cap is the worst plane I have had so far and my frustration is through the roof. I spent a lot of time / money convering and painting it and I love the way it looks, but I leave the field wishing I had bought something else.


Please help with suggestions that made your Cap fly right. Did anyone else have the problem with down El. needed to fly level?


*disclaimer.. this is not a thread to knock WH.. like I said I have owned 2 other products and they were great.
