Glued a lot of bits and pieces over the weekend. Plus I got to fly both Sat and Sun.

Hi Paul, Thanks for the comments. You maidening your Cap20L inspires me to get mine done. I followed Peter’s suggestion on size and got a OS 32F that is barely used. Took some time to find one since they are out of production. I have an ASP 0.32 in my Oodalally and it idles and runs reliably but wouldn’t say it’s real powerful. I read where the OS 0.32 has more power and since I was still building I went for it. $60US. Right wing is mostly done now and same for fuse. Going to be getting after it this weekend!! I am planning on covering in the scale colors like at the start of my post. Don’t have silver covering but have the others. Need to order a muffler extension but have everything else. Glad to hear yours flies well. I can’t wait to get mine airborne. Did fly a Sig Somethin Extra this morning. Kinda cold and breezy but still fun. Any chance you can get some video of your Cap20L in flight? Take care and thanks, Greg

Greetings Gents, Finally getting on with my Cap20L build after moving and partly duplicating my build area at my fiancé's house. She was kind enough to let me setup shop on her very large dining table so I have a dedicated wing board, fuse board, cutting mat for simple trimming, and chairs around where I stack kit boxes and supplies. I also have a cutting / sanding area in the basement equipped with good lighting, a scroll saw, and an air cleaner built via http://billpentz.com/woodworking/cyclone/air_cleaner.cfm My sensitivity to balsa dust has gotten so bad I pretty much have to wear a respirator (not just a dust mask shown) when I do any building or I get super congested and sick feeling. The air cleaner eliminates the dust after working in either area pretty quick so I don't have to wear the respirator for some of the assembly. More pic to come.

Hey Paul, I’ve been looking for different Cap 20L color schemes and think you said you were going to do red, white, and blue. I ran across the following pics that you might find helpful if you wanted to go with a full scale scheme. I personally like the one one on top. Enjoy - Greg **LINK**

Caveman, Your Cap20L is sweet. Especially the canopy and cockpit. I need to learn how to detail those areas. Peter’s recent article on this is quite timely. I’m relatively new, as you can tell, but how does one scale one of these plans by 12%? Can I simply make a copy 12% larger and proceed as usual? Thanks - Greg

Thanks for the feedback gentleman. Someone noted that with the cost of servos it makes sense to put them in the wings. In my Oodallaly I put Hitec HS-225s in the wing. Any other suggestion for this size plane? I run a FrSky radio system so I can program any sort of differential or mix I want but I usually keep it simple and am learning to setup the plane correctly and adjust for any coupling during flight with sticks.
