Your not going to like hearing this,but DO NOT fly this plane untill you strip all the paint off it and re-glass the entire fuse! The fuse has been glassed,and all those cracks are structural fractures and breaks and need repaired. By looking at the pic's,the plane was painted not covered in covering,and sustained a severe crash to crack all the paint,wing hold down blocks and stab hold down blocks. Crash was most likely due to the infamous Cap-Snap on a take off.Repair the plane completely,then remove the main landing gear from the wing and place them in the fuse about 1 inch in front of the wing.This simple trick will stop the cap from snapping on take off only because it forces the cap to only lift it's tail off the ground when it is at it's true and actual flying speed. The Cap is a fantastic flying plane when set up correctly,i used to have 3 of them at one time,but thinned out my plane numbers over the years. Fuel tank goes in fuse just behind the firewall,reciever goes just behind the fuse former at the wings leading edge where the wing goes into the fuse,servo's ( throttle,rudder,and elevator) go into a tray located just past the mid-way point of the wing saddle,and aileron servo is located in the wing it's self. CG of plane is located between 3.5 to 4.5 inches back from leading edge of wing at the fuse with the plane inverted. Hope this information help's you out!


Good Flying
