Default RE: GP Cap 232

I maidened the Cap yesterday, and with the Moki 1.8 and an APC 18x6W it was a vertical missile. My all up weight came out to 12 pounds 12 ounces. The plane flies incredibly smooth, but it seems a little pitch sensitive. I have it balanced right at the 5 3/4" mark, and will have to experiment with it some. I am also going to put the rudder servo in the tail, that way I can remove the 1 ounce of lead I had to put on it to balance. Landing is a pain, thank god we have a long runway! I have never seen a plane float like this. Any of my other Caps would have snapped right out on me if I tried to land that slow. I need more right thrust because on a vertical line it pulls to the left pretty good. All in all, I'm very pleased with this plane and I hope to have it around awhile.
