What is needed to complete this kit? Besides an engine and radio. Thanks.

Steve

That's pretty much it. Everything else is there except prop and fuel.

I'm going to be posting a full review on the plane soon as I get all my video edited together. I now have well over 100 flights on mine and have had 0 problems. I'm flying it currently at 125% high rates and 90% low rates. I'd recommend for the beginner around 30%-40% of the recommended rates in the manual, otherwise as all Caps are it will be very responsive and snappy. You can train on this plane I've had a few new flyers fly mine on the 30%-40% rates and they did great, of course we used a buddy cord I fly mine with a OS 70 Surpass II and it flies great needed 0 weight added. A friend flies his with a Magnum 70 4 stroke and it also flies great. It's a ARF you won't be dissapointed in.

To Complete the ARF you'll need your radio(6-channel computer radio I'd recommend)
Servo's
Prop
Engine
and field equipment.

Take a lawn chair with you flying also...this planes a blast in the air

Agreed. A dream to fly. No regrets buying this one. I have an OS46AX with Bisson pitts muffler up front, with APC 11x6 prop. Plenty of speed. More torque would be nice. Friends tell me to switch to a 12x5 prop for more torque. Currently still flying at 90% high rates and 65% low. 90% is plenty for me to handle.

Don't just sit around and read this. Go get one from your LHS and start flying. (No, WM is not paying me [&o])

Are you using a standard prop or sport prop? I'm running a 13x6 sport prop and switch off to a 14x4 sport prop for easier hovering.
Also you might want to upgrade eventually to a 4 stroke in it for some more torque.

I don't get paid by them either wish I did or at least wish they'd hook me up with a 100cc Ultimate

Gotta admit though World Models hit a bulls eye on the Cap 46R ARF.

Badz,

What time is it where you are? It's 11.30am here in Malaysia.

I'm embarrassed to say I don't know the difference between a standard and a sport prop. Just got it at the LHS.

If I go 4 stroke on her, it'll be the Saito 82. Will that be too big?

I have my eyes on the WM Ultimate too. They sure make good planes, worth every $. So far I have not heard anything bad about WM from my pals at the field. One of them who has lots of other planes, from other manufacturers, just love his WM Super Sports 40.

I'm in Utah...it's 10:09PM here....I think a Saito 82 would be awesome on one actually. There's nothing like that Saito sound

I just love the colour scheme! I want to get one, but i the only thing stopping me is whether i will be happy with its performance with an OS46FX. What do you guys think?

They recommend a 46 class 2 stroke or 70 class 4 stroke so you should be just fine. It just might be a bit on the fast side as most 2 strokes are. Someone who posted is flying it with a 46ax which is basically same engine as the 46fx

I'm running an Evolution 46 in it, and I'm very happy with the performance, except for the high number of dead stick landings, but I guess those only highlight how good a flier this plane really is. There is plenty of power with a 46, I wouldn't hesitate to put one in.

Inferno6688,

46AX....that'll be me. With a total weight (without fuel) of 5 lbs 4 oz, the plane is fast. I usually fly less than half throttle. I believe the 46AX is slightly more powerful that the 46FX, but it'll be just ideal.

Go ahead and get one. You'll enjoy it.

thanks for the responses guys! i think its sold it for me!!.

just one thing, i guess its more of a genernal question, what is meant by the plane "snapping" or is snappy? i have always wondered what is meant by the term? what actually happens?
I have read another review (in a Australian mag) of the cap, and it says that during high speed manvours it can 'snap'

Cheers

A snap is a stall where one wing stalls and the other keeps flying. The whole plane rotates around the longitudinal axis. Basically, a very fast violent roll, or technically, a spin, just in the horizontal plane.

Hi,

I am also flying the World Models Cap 232 my question is where do you have the centre of gravity on your plane... mine is slightly nose heavy with a Saito 72 but flies great all the same, I will move it back a little though.

Cheers,
Sam.

How will it hover and do elevators? My DP ultimate bit the dust today in the swamps on account of a bad battery. Last time I ever get a "custom" made battery. 30% or heli fuel and my Saito 72 seem to hover most smaller planes. Of course my 33% hovered and flew great today so I didnt get upset when I lost the beater.

Have to be careful out there with the bulls and snakes and whatever else lurks out around the FL swamps.

Anyone with that's been flying this plane for a while experience "soft" landing gear? I have to straighten mine after every landing. I've been doing tail wheel first landings and still bending the gear. I experimented with just picking up the nose and dropping it. - yep it tweeked. The last flight today - before I severed my finger on the prop of my extra and had to get 4 stiches, the right wheel caught something on the runway and twisted backward with the wheel pant upside down! I've had enough, time for some carbon fiber gear. Anyone make CF wheel pants?

hi, i am getting one of these models as a christmas present from my parents, now im thinking about either putting an, OS .70 4 stroke or a YS .63 4 stroke in it, im just disputing on whether the OS will have good enough power for a good amount of verticle time, and i know the YS has more power so im wondering whether to save the extra money and buy the YS due to alot more power output.

Hi,

I fly mine with a Saito 72; the power is awesome it will hover at half throttle with 20% nitro and it is not as finicky as the YS. Don't get me wrong the YS63 will produce awesome power in this model but the Saito or OS 70's will be much less finicky. If you are worried about power you could always buy a Saito 82, this engine will give unlimited vertical and on cheaper fuel.

Cheers,
Sam.

I just bought this bird this last weekend. Does anyone use the wing bolts supplied with the model or have most of you upgraded to nylon bolts? That was my main problem with my Sky Raider Mach I (a high wing semi-symmetrical trainer made by World Models). I did not like the metal bolts and blind nuts supplied so I used nylon instead. The only problem that I had with doing that, is that the bolt holes are so close to the TE of the wing and I was a little concerned about the thinness of the wood b/w the bolt and TE as it was probably around 1/4-1/3 of an inch thick b/w the two after I drilled them out for the nylon bolts. Also, the wood that the wing bolts to is extremely soft balsa and I nearly crushed it when cinching down the blind nuts for the nylon bolts.

Same issue here? Also, do you guys use the method in the manual for attaching your control rods to the servos or do you use z bends or something else?

What didn't you like about the metal wing bolts? I've used them on both of my WM Caps, the 120 and 46R without any trouble. The only hardware I've upgraded on either plane was the aileron rods on the 120. (I went with 4-40 all thread for adjustability- not needed, but just wanted to) On the contrary, I threw away most of the hardware from my Sportsman Aviation Sport Stick and Model Tech Extra 300 (worthless junk). Read the reviews on any WM product. They make some of the best ARF's on the market.

airborneSGT, are you stationed at Ft. Bragg? I might be heading down there on Dec. 16th for a ceremony for my brother-in-law that is down there. He is becoming a General.
