Default H9 25% Cap - 3D rating?

Hi guys,

I have a Aeroworks 35% 260 almost ready for maiden and a 27% H9 260.

I can get a good deal on a 25% H9 Cap with Saito 150 and because I have always liked Caps I thought about getting this just for fun/3D.

Question is, am I wasting my time because after I maiden the Aerworks will I even want to fly the 25% H9 Cap?

Second, How does the 25% H9 Cap 3D?

Thanks,

Shaun

Reason I am thinking about it is my friend has a Chip Hyde Cap X which is about the same size that flies well (that said it is powered by a Moki 2.10 so way more power then the Saito 1.50)

I had a H9 Matt Chapman CAP(25%) w/O.S. 1.60fx. It was awesome but had to bring it in hot. It LOVED to tip-stall. I'm sure back then I could have set it up alittle better. H9 27% CAP looks to me like a better design than what I had. Laser cut parts. lighter. smarter.

my brother here had the H9 Alitalia Cap 232 80" with a ZDZ 50, it would fly OK, it looks awesome, does the easiest harriers in the world, was hard to torque roll, considerable elevator coupling while on knife edge, great blenders and tumbles, overall it was a fun plane, but not a 3D monster IMO, but it is truly the best harriering plane we have ever flown
