[NSRCA-discussion] Help Needed--Off-Topic (Cap 21 88" WS / GPGiantScale from 1980's)

[White, Chris]

I'm interested to see the answer to Dave's question of whose kit.  I
have a NIB Byron Cap 21 kit and it is the injection molded all-foam
version which is designed to be monokoted as with the Byron Pitts.   I
think the thing would probably do well with Glow (OS160 & pipe or Moki
210)....but I hear they used to call them the snapping caps with a gas
engine (how do you spell wing loading...) which at that time was
probably the Q35. ( Also the fear of a leaking gas tank in a foam
airplane???)

	I acquired a kit and looking for some weight saving tips. I'm
trying to see if a DA-50 is a good match for this plane. I've heard both
"yes (will have unlimited vertical)" and "no (lead sled about 24 to 26
pounds). I thought I heard this plane was designed for the quadra 35,
which I believe was one a of a few gas engines available then.

	 

	My 1st reaction to this plane weighing 26lbs was that I couldn't
build it that heavy if I tried. Then when I opened the box and saw the
steel landing gear weighing in at a pound and the plans have the wing /
stabs fiber-glassed and painted, I thought it's could be possible if the
quadra 35 was real heavy back then as well.

	 

	Don't have the experience to know so I'm hoping someone here has
actual experience that may help me get it right the first time.

	 

	Any thoughts?

	 

	Larry
