Great Planes Electrifly Cap 580

 

I've enjoyed flying my Reflection for a couple years now.  I was pretty disappointed to see that it has been discontinued.  However, I've always wanted to try one of the single wing models.  I chose the Cap580.

03/66/2008 - Parts ordered
I ordered the plane and some glue.  Since the plan is to use the electronics from the broken Reflection, this should be a cheap swap.

03/15/2008 - Built the plane
I built the plane over the past 2 days. I don't know who can build one of these in "2 to 3 hours" as it says on the box, but it sure ain't me.  I took all the electronics from the Reflection and put them on this plane.  It's ready to fly, just haven't had the time yet.

04/14/2009 - Flew a few times
I've flown this plane a few times over the last 13 months.  Nothing really exciting.  It doesn't fly like the Reflection, but it has it's moments.  No crashes or repairs.
