You ain't seen a tip stall 'til you've flown a Cap! Be warned!
Clean fast snap performance comes with a price keep the wing loading down and your throws conservative and you'll have a blast. This little guy minds it's manners relative to wing loading.
The plans call for the usual right thrust but there is no down thrust. A call to Bill Stevens yielded the information that this plane doesn't need downthrust and in fact, tends to pitch up when the power is taken off rapidly,,, so that some are even putting in a little UPthrust. This all seems counterintuitive to me.
Just to clarify, Many pilots of larger IC powered 232's that I have spoke with felt the need for a bit of up thrust. On this little 1:8 scale 232 I have yet to find a thrustline that works better then dead zero.... unless you run the semi-symmetric wing. I would be curious to hear how it goes for you.
12oz - now that is gonna be a hoot! Thanks for the feedback.
