Thanks guys, The Cap turns heads at every field I take it to. I get a lot of questions about what kit it is & is it scratch built? stuff like that. Nobody believes me when I tell 'em it is an ARF. Dunno if he still does it but Tom used to let you special order solid color planes & that pretty much guarantees you a unique airplane. A little imagination is all it takes.
One thing though, don't let anyone tell you you can't overpower a plane. With the 3W 80XI this thing refuses to land, even at an idle. I have to kill the engine on approach to get it on the ground. 'Course having a CG ov 4.5" at the wingtip has a little to do with that.
