42% FMG CAP 232 MAIDEN FLIGHT
What a relief! Finally after a year of repairs to a damaged airframe I was able to remaiden her. I put four flights on it today all without incident. Now that the maiden is complete I can start puting graphics on her. Enjoy the pics.

Re: 42% FMG CAP 232 MAIDEN FLIGHT
When do you plan on getting Video of it flying? I also have a cap that size except it is a 3W 44% and I plan on running the 3W 200 also. How did the engine pull it around.

Re: 42% FMG CAP 232 MAIDEN FLIGHT
youngflyer, I must have been absent that day at school when they were teaching us about puting switches in our birds. I have been using MPI heavy duty charge jack switches in my planes for the last 5 years and have never had a problem. I am open for any suggestions.

Re: 42% FMG CAP 232 MAIDEN FLIGHT
well ive had one plane (small gasser) go down from a failed switch and many others including friends and people online have had a plane go down from a cheap switch. if it works than its fine but you have already spent thousands on the plane, you might want to consider using top of the line switchs that have redundancy (i.e duralite)! for me, running 7 servos wont kill me or my switch or even my rec for that matter but if i was running over 10 or more than $1000-1500 on my plane, than i would make sure i could prevent a cheap part from ruining my day
