Hey Flight Detent,
good to hear that you enjoyed your flights last weekend with your Cap. I still haven't quite finished my helicopter. Actually I am painting it right now and that takes me longer than I thought. But I plan to fly it on the weekend, maybe on sunday afternoon. Here in Kuala Lumpur the weather is always very hot and humid and the only possible time to go for RC-flying is early morning and late afternoon.
I was curious about your cap and I tried it on a RC-Simulator (Real-Flight 2). It flies really nice, very neutral, great for aerobatics. I used to fly back in Germany RC-Gliders (all electrified). My favourite was an 4.5 metres Ventus 2 C. I flew it with 18 battery cells and a Plettenberg E-Motor, which allowed me to climb 3-4 times to 150 where I could try to find some thermals. You should have seen the geometry of the wings. Just amazingly beautiful. My other faourite was a 3.2 m Swift S1 (16 battery cells). Great for aerobatics. I built in in colours of the national flag of Chile...really proud of this one!
When I finish my heli, I will send you a picture
BEFORE and
AFTER the first flight
