Default Midwest 27% Cap 232 and Extra 300 3D capable?
Might have a line on a couple cheap Midwest 27% kits. They used to make a Cap 232 and an Extra 300, both 80" span. I've been eyeing a 50cc project.

Are they good 3D platforms? Maybe with a DA-50?

Please, tell me your experiences with either.

Dave

I've seen the cap fly with a moki 210. Not sure about all out 3d, but it hovers fine.

I had the Cap with a DA 50. I lightened the plane down to around 14 lbs and it was a 3D beast! I could put it on the runway and hold full 3D up and hit full power and it would just rotate and climb forever . . . No 3D maneuver it could not do.

I sold it only to fund a 150 . . .

Dick Hanson had done a lot of mods to get these caps super light. Its on RCU. The versions with the airfoiled tail are the ones to go with. If you ask MidWest they still have some things available for the kits. IMHO the fuses are a little over built and this is where you can save a lot of weight.

OK, got the Cap with the airfoiled tail. Hit me with the recommendations Chris!

Thanks,
