Well, yesterday I picked up the Cap 10 at my local Hobby People store, they had dropped the price even more (online), down to only $ 219 ($ 100 off the regular price), what a bargain!
The airplane is extremely light for its size, seems well put together, only thing I found wrong was the cowling paint, needs to be redone, wheelpants are cheesy at best ( will probably replace them) and some reinforcing of the firewall as added protection. All in all however, a terrific buy. Don't know which engine to use, I've several alternatives, Saito's 1.2 and 1.5, 25, 31, 35 and 38CC gasoline or ST 2000 or ST 3000 and also a Moki 1.5, any opinions? I'm leaning toward the Saito 1.5 or the ST 2000, the airframe is too light, seems to me to be able to handle the enormous vibrations gasoline engines produce. By the way, the covering is not a printed type material (my fears have been removed), but trims are made by applying colored film, it does look like Oracover. I appreciate all of your earlier opinions, thanks.
