3W 100 or Da100?
Here's the order by weight:
3W-100 Heaviest 7.0 lbs bare.
DA-100 - 5.8 lbs bare.
BME-102 - 4.7 lbs bare.
ZDZ-80 single 4.36 lbs bare.
ZDZ-80 twin 4.1 lbs bare.
All of them have plenty of power for the Cap.
The twins will cost you about double.

I actually feel bad for 3W saying this... but it is no contest. Comparable power at best (I think the DA has more) and the DA is 1-lbs lighter. Transition is excellent on the DA and well as vibration. It's a no brainer, in my book.
If you haven't seen a H9 CAP fly with a DA-100 you can check it out on my website. Click the "WWW" button at the bottom of this message.
