Les,

This bird is very similar to my Midwest Cap 232 in size and weight. And by using a 2 stroke you will be on the lite side. This means you will have a very nice flyer that will out perform anything you have flown before.

The only tip I have to offer is I believe you should have your Elevator on a Dual rate switch for your maiden and have the low rate set to only 11 to 12 degrees of travel. The Elevator setup on a Cap is very powerful and doesn't require that much movement for effective control...

Your are really gonna enjoy this plane! :-)
