[kenneth67]

hope this is the right place to post ??
well this is the story and the question! ---
got me one of these .. and put it togehtet with a super tiger 2300 and a 17X6 prop
i managed to take it two turns around the field at maiden flight .. then the wing broke in two
not were the wing is joined but 20-25 cm out on the wing ..well im not bill hempel so the result was devastating !!
i got a new from the manufacturer without cos .. but it was in no good condition ! is there anyone here that has experience from this V-MAR cap 231 ex? good or bad ...
is it even possible to fly it with out it falling to pieses in the air ??

Back when I flew glow planes, a lot of them, we always considered V-mar too heavy even though they looked great. Check out RCU. Lots of complaints on there about them falling apart. If you want a great .40 size CAP try this one. Great, quality, plane with no bad habits.

Here's a quote from one of V-MAR's customers.

thanks for the answer! .. but a .40 size is a bit small ..the cap i got is a 1.20 size (two stroke)
so i got the new and have started to put it together! .. and i put some really hard pressure on the wing at the spot where the other broke ... and it seems to hold together! ! but im a bit nervous about flying this one ! ...but the weather is not on my side so maiden flight will have to wait ...

maybe i need a crash course from bill hempel on how to fly with just half a wing ! ...
