Roadracer:
If I understood your post, it sounds like the Edge snapped on
approach. You'll be surprised to find the Cap will snap faster. The
thing I've found that stops all that with my Caps, Extra's & Laser
is to put in 1/8" washout in both ailerons. Trim UP both so that the TE is 1/8" higher than the trailing edge of the inboard part of the wing. This removes any tip stall. I'm now able to land any of
those snappers at a very slow speed. Next problem with the Cap.
is often too much elev. deflection is put in. With the cantilevered
elevator, you don't want more than 1" UP at the TE on low rates.
Otherwise when you pull a sharp up then the plane goes into the
dreaded death spiral. I lost one doing just that -- too much speed
and too little altitude -- just along for the ride. That sudden silence stays with you for quite a while.
Good luck with the Capitus
