Default RE: Can't get plane off ground



I have a cap with a fiberglass fuselage and sheeted wings. I fly with a 55AX engine. I had a 46 on there and it just did not have the power to hover or go vertical. It flew "ok" with a 46 but there is no way it would have flown with a 40 on there. You really should listen to everyones advice on here. There is alot of smart stuff being said. I know that trainers are not the "coolest" and most attractive aircraft on the market but if you pick one up and commit to flying two or three times a week over the summer then you should be able to fly your cap in one to two months. Remember that caps have to land "hot" so they dont stall. Make sure you use minimal throws and set it up with some expo. I recommend at least -20 to -25% expo;l especially on the  first few flights to get those jitters we all have with a new plane.......Andy</p>
