RE: GP Cap 232
I wouldn't put it that way. I'm not much of a hater of anything (except some human behavior traits).
Actually, my comments are just to highlight that some building experience helps in assessing the air worthiness of a pre-built model. For the same reasons that many mods are made to ARF's to equip them with power plants for which they weren't designed, I'm suggesting that the same logic can apply to other areas of the aircraft. If we put a 50cc engine into the CAP (beyond the manufacturers recommendations) and then find that the wing snapped, well, it calls into question more than the factory design of the model.
Actually, based on what I've learned from this thread (which I've followed from the beginning), my CAP will never have a 50cc engine in it (too heavy). In light of the latest news, it might never have any engine in it. The design strikes me as a lightening project (if desired) for ~3000W (4 horses) of electric power. A 12 lb CAP would have a wing loading of 23-1/2" oz/sq ft - not bad.
