We’ve had this aircraft for a while now but have only had it out for one event earlier this year. With our recent decision to move into the arena of super-giant-scale electric aerobatics, the cap was the perfect candidate for conversion.

The cap as it was before conversion weighed in with a full tank of fuel at about 39lbs give or take a few oz. It currently is set up using hitec HS5955TG servos everywhere. Two per aileron, one per elevator half and two in a push-pull arrangement on the rudder. The throttle and choke were handled by a 5645 and 5625 respectively. Power was previously provided by a DA150 on standard mufflers. It uses a pair of li-ions through a turboreg for servo power.
