H9 1/3 CAP 232 w/ DA-85 Build Thread

PTS · 08-09-2007, 12:37 AM

Hello!

I decided to go with Hangar 9's 1/3 scale CAP 232 and DA-85 for power. I have always liked Extra's but this CAP really stood out for the 85.

I will start posting some pics by this weekend. Please chime in with any suggestions or comments.

Thanks,

Perry

That should be a stellar combo!!!

I'm building the exact same setup, Except for the prop, Should be awesome.

The prop is going to be hit and miss especially with the new Mejs being available. What prop do you plan on running?

Did they dial out the wicked tendencies of the cap on this one?

PTS · 08-09-2007, 03:46 PM

Please explain.

This plane never had any of the caps wicked tendencies, it's the best plane H9 has made to date, well maybe the new 260 will be better? Time will tell!

I have a bunch of stuff laying around, Probably a Mejslik 26x10N for a few gallons, than a 26A Vess after that.

hard to beat the Vess 26A for any of the 80-85cc engines.

i am building the H-9 Cap also with the DA-85. I have hit a stop trying to figure out how to get this huge JMB can muffler in there somewere. I have a 26 x 10 Mejzlik & 26A Vess to try. I hear that Vess is the ticket on the 80-85cc motor. So far I have installed the surfaces
5955 on the ailerons
5955 on the rudder
8411 on the elevators
switches
carbon landing gear
wheels and axles
sealed all surfaces
mounted the Gi Joe pilot

I meant, that a lot of original designed Caps had tendencies to snap hard in straight and level flight if you pulled too much elevators. Tight loops were a no no. Etc... This is a great looking plane, Keep us posted. SHould be a great combo!

Hello!

I received the Cap 232 today. The plane is really a nice piece. The only complaint is a quite a few wrinkles but other than that it's great! I will post some pics as soon as I start the build.
