U-Can-Do 3D -- No Luck So Far!!!
Allan,
Nope; sold the engine with the model. Also found a guy who wants the CAP Sport. You're right, that Sport CAP is one great model; but mine has over 100 flights and is pretty ratty, looks-wise. I know where one is NIB that the guy will never build, and will sell to me right if I get the urge for another one.
I woke up yesterday and realized I had EIGHT freakin' airplanes. The ones in not-ready-to-fly condition have spilled over into the spare room, which has been annoying the wife greatly. Time for spring cleaning....
I'll try to sell two others that are hanging up (and probably won't ever get flown again) this week-end at the fly-in. Reducing the inventory by half makes the bride happy, and gives me a war chest to get something new with... The search is on already.<G>
jsnipes,
I didn't DIS-like the model, and in fact enjoyed flying it. But it just did not keep my interest, for some reason.
rajul,
The APC 16x4W is one big chunk of prop. Yes, it will work with 15%, but your throttle response will be slow. I replaced mine with a 15x6 Saturday, and the throttle response was noticeably better. My buddy runs 20% nitro in his 91 FZ, and he noticed the difference too when he switched props.
If hovering is your main gig, then you'll probably be better off living with the limitations of the 16x4W. But for regular flying, the 15x6 gives up nothing to the boat paddle, and your engine will be happier.
