I have ordered a CapX, reads like one awesome machine !!!! what props are you guys running, and what make. I have a broken in 1.60 os with a Jettengineering tuned muffler. I have read that the 1.6 is great power with this plane, I just would like to see what kind and size of props you guys recommend for 3d flying with the CAPX.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME !!

I have heard good things about the APC 18-6W too. I have the 1.60 on the capx and I am running a pro zinger 18-8 with good results. Nice motor/plane combo, you will like it!

Well looks like 18-6 is the fav here. I have never flown a cap before, Extras and Funtanas, mustangs and such. I hear that this plane is supposed to not have the tip stalling problems of the regular cap 232...so, how does it fly guys..oh I have 5625's for the surfaces, those should do the job on 6 volt, right? I had them in a funtana
little overkill !!
Thanks for any input about the plane or set up.

those servos should be good, I have read that its recommended that you have at least 90oz of torque to properly fly this thing and the 5625 should be ok

Speed: 0.14 sec/60 degrees at 6.0V
Torque: 109.7 oz/in at 4.8V

Length: 1.59" (40.6mm)
Width: 0.77" (19.8mm)
Height: 1.48" (37.8mm)
