Re: Chip Hyde Cap X
My brother owned one and I flew it.
It flies really well and the best attribute I can say is that it did not tip a wing at less than half throttle. Seriously, I love the CAP232, but those planes have some bad tendencies which some manufacturers have removed (CHP and the H933% to name a few). It is also a beautiful plane. Now if you want to 3D, it is not nearly as agile and willing as some other planes. It will do about anything, but not as fast or easily as many other choices. Depends on what you want to do with it. I personally loved flying it, but don't consider it a 3D machine. |

Re: Chip Hyde Cap X
Thanks James,
Always looking for the next project. Saw this plane when looking at the CH Tunnel Vision. Too bad about the Cap X, I am getting into the 3D craze and really want something that I can continue to develop with. Karl |

Re: Chip Hyde Cap X
I have seen them 3D perfectly.
But it was using a MOKI 2.1... But I think with the new BME 55 that is coming out the CAP X will be a KILLER 3D plane.. This plane just needs to be built light... a glow motor would rock its world, or if the BME 55 is like 2.5 lbs... perfect for this plane!!!
