RE: Elevator SNAPROLL
Ok, what the heck 27% airframe can hold a DA-85. 35cc's too much. I am guessing weight is the issue.

RE: Reactor verses U-Can-Do 3D
Everything sounds good except the prop on the 55AX. If you don't mind a little noise, I would switch to a Tower .46 muffler for the .55 and switch props to a 13x4.

pheonix yak 54 .46 Cheap Easy assembly flies ok. Will do some 3D but will be better at aerobatics. For learning 3D, a profile is very hard to beat.

RE: GP Cap 232
DL-50 is roughly the same price as an O.S. 1.60. Mine comes in at 15 on the nose balances a little tail heavy and has enough power to do anything... and more. Somewhere around 500 flights.

RE: Induced Drag
you are not using trim cl's. A cl of 0.94 at crusing velocity means you are either in a turn or in a loop, not SLF.

RE: GP Cap 232
Never trust tower specs. The edge, ultimate and cap gear are exactly the same. The extra gear has been beefed up a little but comes out of the same mold and has the exact same dimentions as the other two.

RE: GP Cap 232
Seriously, Save yourself some props and spend the 10 bucks on the gear from the GP 27% Extra. It is stiffer and won't flex as much on landing.

RE: GP Cap 232
I think I would go with a un-regulated 7.2v Lipo around 1800mah. Digital servos in a 3D plane require a lot of current. NIMH can't deliver that much current, especially AA cells. You won't get full performance from your servos because the pack won't deliver enough current to the servos. It will regulate it's self, you will get quite a few flights out of the pack because you can't draw enough current. A 2S lipo or A123 can deliver the current and these servos are rated for a 2s lipo. If you are running fasst you won't have any problems with the voltage. I think spectrum is ok too, but you might want to check. A Futaba 3001 servo can handle the voltage for your throttle servo. To make a long story short, it will fly with that setup, but you may be blowing back surfaces because the servos are underpowered.

RE: GP Cap 232
Depends on servos and how they are setup. What servos are you running, are you going to be doing 3D?

RE: Great Planes Extra 300 GP/EP
This is a pretty strong plane, I woulden't worry about flutter with a 61 or limiting the throttle on a Saito 1.00. Guys Power is a GOOD thing!!!

RE: GP Cap 232
Keep it on the nose heavy end of the CG until you get used to landing it. Replace the gear with gear from the GP Extra (it's stiffer and will save you props). Triangle stock and pin the firewall, and engine box. (very important if you are using gas). Had a problem with my first one breaking the engine box. The servo mounts in the wing are glued to the ribs. this means that the servo mounts are supported by cross grain balsa, It is best to peek inside the servo mount and put a piece of balsa with the grain going perpendicular to the wing Chord to keep the balsa from splitting (this happened on the one I have, luckely I noticed it before it got bad) really simple fix and makes it much stronger. Other than that have fun with it and fly it like you hate it. It can take it. It's a pretty good plane , not as good as some of the bigger 50cc's but it's ok, and very light. Here's a video of mine [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA9g2WfBK8s[/youtube] Setup: DL-50 w/ slimline & xoar 22x8 Futaba S9155 on everything but throttle (don't skimp on servo if you want the snaps crisp) Castle CCBEC for power W/ 2S 1300mah lipo Pilot (made my own) Might sell if the price is right.

RE: 3D setup recomendations
11x3 or 4 works very well with a UT muffler (partial pipe) otherwise you don't get the speed you need, so you end up with a 5 pitch
