Hi guys,

This has been a really fun thread to read. I have had a few Great Planes kits (UltraSport, Corsair, Cherokee, Kaos, Patriot) and now I had inherited the CAP which I have been wanting for a few years since I seen one flew. This CAP is been built by a good builder but did not come with any plans and has never been flown.

What are the balance and throw requirements?

I’m running an OS .46SF with Pitts muffler, twin standard servos in the wings and for throttle, and moved the rudder servo to the side since I do not like servos hanging under the fuse where they can get snagged. I had a spare digital hi torque doing nothing so I’m using it for the elevator. I like using the 6v battery option as well. Weights right at 6 lbs.

Also, due to its snap characteristics, on take off, how is this plane set up? Do you keep everything neutral and then give it gradual throttle with slight rudder and elevator?

Thanks for all of your first flight reports. I’m sure they will come in handy.

Scott
