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.

Made new videos with my Cap 21. I am really loving it, specially the way it lands.
