I first bought this Cap in 2007 . Flew it a couple years with a DL 50. Sold the plane in 2009 to a fellow club member. I always liked the Cap, wish I never sold it. Well, I just got back a couple weeks ago.....its still a blast to fly with the DL 50!!!! This plane has been some serious abuse and it still looks new. The only thing I did during the build was pin the firewall and I made some 1/2" plywood blocks for under the landing gear to add alittle clearance for the 22/23x8 prop. Never had a problem with it, Unlimited vertical to say the least, and floats in like a baby. GP has a keeper with this plane. Hope it stays around awhile. When they come back into stock, I'm getting another for a spare.
