Hi together,
I´m new here and from Germany, so please don´t care about my language.
I bought me an modelairplane from Hype, it´s a CAP 232 with 81.5 Inch wingspan. I tried to fly this airplane with a ZDZ 50NG engine and had lots of problems to get it back to earth without damaging it.

Now my question: does anybody know the Angle adjustment between wing and elevator and would be so helpfull and tell me how it has to be???

Today I had 2 flights and both were nearly fine, but if I´m a little rough with the elevator when the plane is slow it will tip over the wing.

Every answer could be helpfull


Best regrads,

I can't answer your question about the incidence of the wing - but I own a 40 size.Hangar9 CAP232 - the older sport cap 40 kit -and it is touchy with a lot of elevator.

The tip stalling and snapping are common traits of several Cap 232 kits out there regardless of size - seems to be part of owning/flying one of these birds.

Hi Chris,
thanks for your reply!! I also read in a german forum that this is a common trait of CAP´s the tip stalling and snapping.
What I would like to know is, if there is a generally measure for the incidence of the wing existing.

I hope anybody is able to tell me the measure how the elevator has to be placed, regarding the wing (think this is meant by incident of the wing).


Best regards,
Axel

Sorry I didn't check back - I don't have a clue about the proper wing incidence - my plane was a winter long rebuild. Another club member put it in a tree, and handed me the shattered remains. Most of the wing saddle area was destroyed or ripped out when the wing was snapped off the plane, so I got everything lined back up as best I could.

Flies nice with an OS .61FX - although I have only flown it twice since I got it all rebuilt - I havent gotten super brave with it yet.

Hi Chris,
at the moment I can say my CAP flies ok, but if I make it too slow it´s like a thriller to land that plane. I have nearly no problems in flying, but in landing this plane. I think I will build up an ultimate which was constructed by Peter Erang from Switzerland.
Everey free minute I´m in our cellar to get this plane started and hopefully have more fun with it than with this to heavy CAP from Hype.
What I wanted to fly is a plane with in the 80s wingspan and to fly as a funflyer.

Many thanks for your answers!!!

Axel

Oh I forgot to say,
nice rebuild CAP what you are flying. You did it well and I like the pictures you sent!!!!!
