RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

13x8 MA 3-blade. Side-by-side comparison with a 14x6 2-blade showed that the 3-blade had more pull when going from slow to fast. It also makes the airplane land faster, too. Probably due to the...

RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

Can't speak for them- I only know what worked for me. I thought for sure that I would have a nose heavy airplane, but I don't, and I didn't have to do anything unusual to balance it. Empty, as in...

RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

I have a Magnum .91 four stroke in my Cap, and it flies it very well. My flying field is also at 5,550' asl so the extra engine brings the power back to where it should be. I shudder to think of...

RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

I fly mine at Cherry Creek State Park (Denver R/C Eagle's flying field) with a .91 four stroke. Great combination. Good power, good sized prop to help slow it down for landings, also.

I maidened mine today. Never flown a Cap/Extra/Edge/Yak/Laser etc before today. It tracked straight down the runway, and lifted of with just a touch of elevator. It didn't need a single click of...

RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

Hey, thanks for the canopy tips. I guess I'll use some RC56 and a couple screws. I just got done taxiing it around my cul-de-sac, and it looked too good to be just taxiing around! I just have to...

RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

Let me clear this up quick! :) Due to the fact that I am using a Sullivan 12oz round tank, and the fact that the centerline of the tank is right at the cap, and the cap fits so very tightly into...

Did this thread go extinct? :) Hey, did any of you guys that mounted your engines inverted cut out the other side of the cowl to help with cooling? I cut mine out and touched up the edges with...

RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

I started putting the pieces together this morning, and I have to say that this ARF is really put together very well. Top-notch construction, pun intended! :) It's going to be very easy to put a...
