<DIV> If your thinking of buying a 90 size pattern plane, which I
like to use in the winter as a sport practice plane and learning new
maneuvers like the rollers in F-05, the Ca Epsilon is perfect if you like
to build, and no I'm sure not sponsored.</DIV>
<DIV> Took me about 5 weeks to build fairly simple build it is a kit
so no hardware is included which I really liked.</DIV>
<DIV> Setup was an OS 91 FX, Perry pump, 14X8 apc prop, Coolpower
15%, Jr 4131 servos, finished weight was 7lb 91/2 oz. including 2 1/2 oz
tail weight,</DIV>
<DIV> The flying is great, snaps that stop instantly and
dead on heading, knife edge is perfect NO mixing, I did have to reflex
ailerons to get the up and down lines right, rolls very axial, stall turns
was little harder than some planes I've had but just a timing thing, flat
rudder turn are dead on, landings and take off are easy as they get
surprisingly needed to keep a little power on for landing, no tip stall
tendencies.</DIV>
<DIV> If you do build one of these I would shorten the ailerons
down at the root by at about 3 to 4 in. the throws they give you are
way to much for pattern or at least for me, I have them set at 11 degrees
the manual calls for 20 for sport pattern.</DIV>
<DIV> I only have 4 flights on it now so there is still some trimming
to do probably moving the cg even farther back could help, will probably
move the rudder servo to the tail to remove the weight I have now then the
battery if needed. </DIV>
<DIV>YS guy's if you have a old 91 laying around I would think this would
be a good project for it, I'm not a YS person but would think the 110
would be way over kill, the OS 91 FX has more than enough.</DIV>
<DIV> One of my goals last year was to find inexpensive but great
flying planes for beginners, I feel that one of the problems we have
getting more people involved in pattern is expense and the sportsman or
intermediate or even higher classes really doesn't need a $2000 plane to
be competitive, I have flown the Swallow, Excelleron, Quest, I feel that
in the right hands and their trimming this plane could be very completive
in any class. The Epsilon is an exceptional plane.</DIV>
