    3D H9 1/3 Cap 232 - Blast from the past!!!

    Hi Guys, It's been a while since I have posted anything. I actually got bit by the Turbine Jet bug and have barely flown the Cap or any prop plane this year. I'm writing to check if anyone has an extra canopy. I was moving it around the shop and the I dropped the turtle deck and the canopy...

    OMG, I transport mine in a trailer, I can't believe he got it into a corvette. It's an awesome plane, I'm starting to have to lean out my motor, i'ts slowly breaking in, so far I love the plane. sc

    3D H9 1/3 Cap 232 - Blast from the past!!!

    Hello, I did swap out the tubes for Carbon replacements, I went with (http://graphtechrcshop.com/), they're the old Ohio RC guys. Great stuff, I also bought the main gear from them as well. Fit is good. sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation. :) sc

    Too old to "HUCK"?

    yep, that's what I was thinking by something behind it... :) There is enough stress in life to let someone dig into our happy place... misery loves company, keep doing what makes u happy. sc

    Too old to "HUCK"?

    Geesh - comments like that are just plain silly, and I think there typically is something else behind it. It sounds to me like you're probably doing a great job in the air and having fun at it, and they probably don't know how to, or refuse to, say something nice... :) Having fun with our...

    Need your help fellows - fighting elevator on final

    hi guys, quick update. I don't like adding decals to a new plane until after the maiden. Just a odd quirk with me. I now have about 15 flights on the model, I have had to make a slight (1/16 to 1/8) of a turn in on the L needle, and additional tweaking to the cowl cut-outs where I noticed...

    Hello, I moved the CG forward slightly and I'm coming in with more power, I'm not cutting the throttle fully to land. It's helped quite a bit. Steve

    3D H9 1/3 Cap 232 - Blast from the past!!!

    Hello Bartman, Awesome plane. I'm in North Caldwell, I fly at BlackDirk in Goshen. Where did you find the plane? I've been looking for spare parts for mine for about a year. Send me some pics, I'd like to see it. BTW- mine was new in box, I was the original owner from H9 but I had to put...

    ok fellas, results are in. The changes did make a difference in the landing tendencies. I think it's a bit of a floater actually, I'm not used to that, I may just need to get used to it. I checked the engine thrust, based on comments, and I don't think it needs to be changed. Chopping the...

    Will do, I made a CG adjustment, will test on Friday. oh yes, I had to pull out the old GP CG machine to test inverted on my own, worked quite well... ;) sc

    I followed the steps, I've flown mostly Caps and Sukhois, so I agree with the comments related to the tendencies/characteristics related to the design. I still love Caps, it's part of the allure to the model. I've flown light ones, heavy ones, some that tumbled like nothing else and others...

    Hi Terry, Thanks for working this out. It's interesting, 6 11/16 puts me just a touch (1/8), in front of the wing tube center point. Might it be that H9 placed neutral MAC CG on the wing tube center-line? Is this common? Sorry for the ridiculous question, if it is one. ;) I'm definitely...

    By the way guys, I just want to say thank you for all of the comments and help thus far. I sincerely appreciate it, this is why I love this hobby, the people are awesome and working through the mechanics of the plane until it's right just kicks butt. Then you get to fly them... :) sc
