RE: GP Cap 232 40 Size Build Modifications.
RVman: Congratulations for your covering job. Looks like we have 3 planes almost ready for their maiden flights.
As I initially thought I have the heaviest plane, but still I have a very light wing load and perhaps could be a little floater.
RVman: In the picture I can see the battery leads very close to the muffler, you should take care on that issue.
Rugerv45: Great idea to use a 6 volts battery, it will provide you with an extended flying time, as for the servos I would say that you will need to use the entire throw on all of them, because of their torque, your plane could be difficult to trim if you use 60% or less of their throw. I think like Tom about the prop, but if your engine could go with that size go for it, in this case the bigger the better, unless of course you are looking for velocity then you will need to increase the pitch and lowering the diameter.
How is the painting job?
I am planning to take my Cap to the field this Sunday for its maiden flight, I will have the camera ready to take some pictures to share with you. The only wish I have now is to see this bird flying and do not turn this thread into a rebuilding one.
Have a great afternoon.
