I just finished the Diablo 2000 from Top Model JR. Well built, very light. Top quality fit and finsh and the covering is great. The instructions are terrible.

YNOT........No, you did not. Because Diablo 2000 is from JR Model and the CAP 232 is from Top model.



The CAP has very good instructions and superb quality.
One of my customers has one.

Default Diablo 2000 or Funtana?

So...I keep wondering what the Diablo 2000 lends itself towards, pattern or 3D, or a combo of both. Anyone know? Isn't it a 1.60 size plane? It looks neat and has some size. I wonder if it is anything like the Funtana ?? That one seems to be in a class by itself right now, and very pricey!

No...... Israel is very green too.
The picture is from the customer gallery in the ZDZ engine site.

Yes - I've had two of these models. The model is VERY scale and flies very well indeed. Since its True scale, the nose is a lot heavier than one finds in the usual "standoff scale" models from other manufacturers. Flying characteristics are affected very adversely if the CG is set even a little too far back, so one has to be careful. However, follow the CG instructions and you'll love the model. Get it - it's the only true-scale CAP 232 RC model around... I've currently got a Laser 360 V-Twin in it and I use a 22x8 or 22x10 prop (interchangeably).
