<P>No experience w/ that CAP 21, but my GP .60 size one could be a real handful - with the recommended CG and throws it would snap out at the top of an inside loop... not friendly for a nove aerobatic pilot... </P>
<P>I'd say the design fully earned the nickname 'SNAP21'... <BR>Rick <BR></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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???)</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">My 1<SUP>st</SUP> 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.</SPAN></FONT></P>
