Default cap 232

hi all is it posable to make the cap 232 rtf with a 400 brushless more slower so it would be ok to be more like a trainer and a bit more learner friendly,thanks all.spud5 in the uk

Just like the full size Cap, the RC version is very aerobatic. One key to that is it's ability to do snaps and other things which make it somewhat unstable compared to other designs. It generally just isn't going to be a very friendly airplane for a beginner. Your best bet might be to hang it from the ceiling for a while and get a more suitable trainer. Then when you are ready for the Cap, fly the heck out of it and have fun.

I disagree with the unstable remark in terms of the CAP, its not unstable just highly aerobatic

I would stay away from an aerobat to learn on as they are point and shoot types. I am not saying its impossible to train on one but it might better suit you to get an e-trainer and go from there. Less pucker factor and helps build your confidence

good luck

Unstable probably is an overstatement but they are always ready to snap compared to other airplanes.
