the top one is a Midwest and the texas flag is a lanier weighs 15 # with a fox 3.2 the midwest has a poulan 60 cc

HI EVERYONE!!

JUST FINISHED MY KYOSHO CAP 232 .40 SIZED WITH AN OS 46 FX AND A BISSON PITTS MUFFLER INSIDE THE COWLING.
IM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUELING SISTEM, IM USING A KWIK-FILL FUELING VALVE FROM DUBRO, A LINE GOES FROM THE TANK TO THE VALVE AND THEN TO THE CARB. ANOTHER LINE GOES FROM THE PITTS MUFFLER PRESURE NIPPLE TO THE TANK AND I HAVE ANOTHER LINE FROM THE TANK TO THE OTSIDE LIKE A OVERFLOW LINE THAT IS SEALED AFTER THE TANK IS FULL.

THE VALVE IS IN PERFECT CONDITIONS AND DOSENT LET AIR INTO THE CARB

I THINK IM HAVING PRESURE PROBLEMS, AM I DOING IT THE WRONG WAY?
IS THERE ANY OTHER BETTER SISTEM TO FILL THE TANK WITH A COWLING WITHOUT BRAKING IT ?
WHAT ABOUT CRIMPING ONE END OF THE MUFFLER TO INCREASE PRESURE?

ANY ADVICE OR TIPS WILL BE VERY APRECIATED

THANKS

HERES A PICTURE OF ME AND MY NEW CAP

Well I have more or less the same configuration on my plane but with a TT 120Pro and bisson pitts. Now I can't seem to agree with the 3rd line there, It is useless. There should be 2 lines coming out of the tank, one that goes to the fuel valve, and then to the carb, and the second one on the muffler. If you have another line out of the tank than all the pressure from the muffler exits from the 3rd line instead of going to the main line to the valve.
Now I read that you say that you seal the 3rd line once the tank is full correct? Well that makes a little more sense, but why have that line in the first place; to see when the tank is full you can see it when the gas comes out of the muffler.... this won't affect you in any way at all.
Last thing is this, yes crimping the muffler exits a little bit will make your pressure problem disappear, I did that on mine also, but I also have a fuel pump, just to be sure, but first try to eliminate that 3rd exit and if it doesn't work than crimp the muffler, not too much though...
BTW I did the crimping on both exits of the muffler

Those fuelers tend to suck air by the valve, causing lean runs and lots of troubbles. Try bypassing the fueler.

Kangke CAP 232 25% .... soon, very soon I will be flying it. Just gotta install the radio gear. Saito 180 is all broken in and ready to rock.

THANKS NORBE!!
ILL REMOVE THE THIRD LINE, I DIDNT KNEW THAT OVERFLOWING THROGH THE MOFFLER WAS POSSIBLE WITHOUT AFECTING IT IN A BAD WAY,

MANY THANKS

Nice throws on the elevator, I myself have a kangke cap .60 and it will probably fly this weekend if I am lucky.....

Red Devil,

Another way to hook up the fuel system is to use a 3 line system. In this system you have one line with a clunk going to the carb, the second goes to the muffler for pressure, and the third one has a clunk and goes to a fuel dot for fueling. This method with the fuel dot will not have the leak potential the fuel valve will have. Also if you are having problems with muffler pressure when using a pitts muffler you probably need to use a pump. The cheap way is to crimp one of the muffler pipes but you will lose some power. With the pump you will retain all your power and maybe gain some.

i bought a cap last week all set up.all i had to do was put a reciever in it.
not sure what the kit is.all i know is it's a peter goldsmith/mike o'reilly design.
it's 75" long with a 85" wing span.
zdz80 swinging a 24x10 wooden prop.
jr digitals on the wing and elevator.
jumbo hitec on the rudder.
i think a tme smoke pump.
don't know what the pitts muffer is.
it weighs in at just over 25lbs.
i test flew it this morning and WOW. only trimming was a couple of clicks of down elevator.
only drama i had was i brought it in too quick and nosed it over and broke a 3w prop.
i have been flying a cm pro edge540 with a 150 saito.flys nice but, this cap is awsome.
will put some pics on here soon.
if anyone has any idea what the kit is i would like to know.
fibre glass fuse with foam sheeted wings.

finally worked how to get pics on.

Ok

Pictures to come, still building...

Here is my Cap 232 from old Goulians scheme.

1/4 scale scratch built modified from scale : wing moved up, stab lowered, fuselage slightly stretched.
YS 140 DZ with APC 18x8W (on photos, APC 18x8 standard)
Hitec coreless digitals all around except throttle which is a coreless Futaba.
Twin 6V batteries and switches for single receiver
11 lbs and still flies light and amazingly precise for its size.

In flight photo shows a rolling harrier with the ailevator activated (Futaba). To be honnest, I do not see much of a difference with this function activated but I think it looks cool...

Next project, 33% or 35% Cap 232 of course!

Yupperdoodle.. sorry it took me forever to get back to you... Is yours the smaller one, or the 72" version? Mine's the 72" version.. still flying nice today! The only thing that's different on mine is that I still have those "elephant ears" on the tips of the ailerons. Still a great flying airplane in my hanger

here is my Kyosho Cap. Has an OS 61 and I set it up with dual elevator servos to balance the plane. FLys great and no snapping tendency at all. Love this plane and I amy consider picking up another just in case

H9 Cap 232 w/ DA100

Here is a picture of my CAP 232. It’s a Swedish made kit. Great plane if you whant real scale. I bough it from [link=http://www.aresti.se/]Aresti.se[/link] in Sweden.

here is mine with 58ccm MVVS

Henrik and Siegel, you guys have some amazing looking CAP's!

Henrik, was yours a kit or an ARF?

My Cap is a fiberglass construction. You have to do some work your self on it but not that much. I attach some pictures of how the kit looks like when you buy it.






It comes in two sizes. 25% (1850cm) and 30% (2260cm).

You can see some pictures of the lager one at [link=http://www.aresti.se/indexswe.htm]aresti.se[/link] and press the galleri link on the left side. That silver Brighteling Cap is awesome. They fly really great too.
