So, I flew the CAP today, the plane flew very well. I need to take out the upthrust however, it climbs at full throttle when trimmed for half. I vaguely remember doing the same for my old CAP and that it flew better after taking it out.
Unfortunately my engine decided to lose a screw, the carb barrel screw almost fell out and then jammed the carb barrel at a high idle. I couldn't keep flying and it was too fast to land normally. Plane just mushed into wheat field with no damage. I will locktite that screw back in. I'm flying tommorow again so will get some pictures and better flight info then.
Hope your maidan went well.
