C.G. is 80 - 85 mm. The ailerons are 10mm, elevator 6mm, rudder 30mm. Hey what motor did you put in it? Just started to build mine tonight.

Thanks for the info I got lucky and found my manual. I used a TT pro 46 with a bisson pitts muffler and all I can say is wow! I got to test fly it Monday and it is a blast.It will slow way down, alot more than I ever thought it would. Flat spins are o.k. not too flat but it will do them inverted. Lomcevacs are almost violent. I think this might become my new favorite plane. well until my Y/A 60 size edge gets here. Oh, and with a .46 I still needed nose weight. The .46 will pull this little plane up, and up forever. Good luck with yours and have fun its a great little plane.

Thanks,
Steve

captainpitts, I was thinking of getting either the 30 sized cap or Extra.........and powering it with a TT Pro .46 also. They seem to be a great value. It would be my first scale aerobatic model.....did the plane seem like it has any bad tendencies?

Mike,

This plane didn't seem to have any bad tendencies. I love caps and I fly a 1/4 scale cap alot and it as well as other ones I've seen love to snap. But not this little plane she will slow way down. On the first flight I took it a few mistakes high just to see how she would slow down and on "my" high rates (25-35 deg. deflection) she would almost harrier. I'm not that good of a 3-d pilot yet but it did it's little wing wobble nose high and just kept on going. About the worst tendency I noticed was some tuck during knife edge flight. not to bad though. with the tt .46 on it you will love this little plane it is a lot of fun to fly. Can't wait for my 60 size edge to get here!

Good Luck,
Steve
