I'd love to see a video of it when your done. Caps are still my favorite airplane. I'm just waiting for them to make a resurgence in popularity again.

I am happy to say that today was the day for the "remaiden" flight on the FMG CAP. It did really well and actually had fun flying the maiden. It was exactly a year ago to the day since I took this badly damaged airframe home with me. With a little work and a lot of help from many friends especially Ron Storer I now have an outstanding airplane to fly this season in IMAC.

Hey Diablokid,

I am definitely going to finish up the Cap with some more graphics from Stan Stockman. I would hate to waste 'em on a bad test flight, but since it passed I will now finish it and repost more pictures.
Thanks,

Steve

Thanks for the comments guys. I flew it for the second time on Sunday, I finally got the high end needle set properly and HOLY COW the 3W-200 w/ 32/12 absolutely pulled the thing out of sight and it weighs 48 pounds. I really am impressed with the stability of this plane it is solid. I ordered the graphics for it on Saturday so I will soon get to dress it up a little.
