The first three flights were all dead-stick landings as the engine is not run in properly yet. She really floats in quite fast when gliding but does slow down nicely with the prop. turning. The next three flights were perfect and the landing were under power. It has unlimited vertical performance and just disappears into the clouds.
Getting ready to fly
This is from the Easter week-end, plane all ready to go but notice the snow falling outside.
In the air
Several weeks ago my CAP 21 clipped a tree during the landing approch and fell into the river.
I only managed to retrieve it by stripping off and swimming to get it. In my haste I ran through stinging nettles, plunged into icy cold water and got covered in these leech type things, yuck. Only once my feet and legs started to thaw out did I start to feel the pain. The CAP is flying again after I recovered the wings and dried out the Rx, servos and fuselage.
