Looks very nice indeed !
You might want to consider allowing more exit area for cooling air perhaps ? I just flew mine last Friday, it is really one of my favorite models. |

Thanks, Erez, you are right about the cooling. Do you have any video of your Cap flying?

Beautiful job !
Looks far far better than mine ! Well done and good luck on the first flight ! |
Thanks Erez.
But surely mine is heavier than yours.... IŽll keep maximum respect for the plane during the maiden, on December 20th, if wheather helps. |
I had two of these years ago. Both of them caught me off guard and snapped into the ground. The first one I built per instructions, the second I used pull pull rudder. Never had a problem with the landing gear and never had a problem when flying aerobatics, can you say knife edge forever. Leonardo, heed the warnings of using excessive control throws. Both of mine snapped into the ground when making a tight turn with excessive throws and low air speed. Good luck.

Maekju and Erez.
I followed your tips and the maiden was successfull. Far better than I expected! I used low throws, differential ailerons and exponential on elevators, rudder and ailerons. The plane is fast and really flies on trails! I kept the airspeed to avoid stalls, but the plane seemed very reliable and docile, just like a low wing trainer. I loved the way it flies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFUqwiiLkpY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDXWdAkqxeU Leonardo http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2136957http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2136958 |
Made new videos with my Cap 21. I am really loving it, specially the way it lands.
