Well, split control surfaces, even flaperons are not legal since the full scale doesn't do it. Actually I guess variable pitch props are too unless they are on the full scale (which I don't think they are on the CAP). I'll be rolling "very crisply" if I have to do the maneuver.

You made me think of a story- at the last TOC Gerald Neel was on a vertical downline during his freestyle and the engine kicked and ran backwards. He slowed down nicely, smoke came through the prop- it looked really odd, then it kicked back to normal and he pulled out like it was part of the routine. It looked neat, although unintentional.

I'm flying the 33% H9 CAP. Its doing all the tough maneuvers well except the push to vertical up, two pos snaps, opposite 4 pt roll to hammerhead. In the wind it gets pretty mushy after the two snaps.

Focus AA is awaiting an engine from Richard- I need either a DZ or an L, I suppose. I'm re-doing the hinges on the big (46%) Cap to give more elevator throw for 3D and stronger rudder hinge setup, plus an extra aileron servo for kicks. After that there is the Extra, then the Focus. Maybe by late spring or early summer.
