Tom T Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi All, So it begins! This is going to be the build blog of the Weston UK Cap 232 kindly donated to me by a very nice gentlemen (not sure if I am allowed to say his name). So far I have read the review article in the 1999 issue of RCME and have had all the parts surrounding me in the 'workshop'. Really can't wait to get started, can't really believe how much this kind gentlemen has given me, I really can't thank him enough! Throughout the thread I hope to post a full build blog and show first flights. I will take some pictures later so you can all see how the model is at the moment and what I look to do with it. Hoping to have it flying by spring so its going to be a busy few months, I hope to rope in a professional builder to help me out a little with covering etc but the rest I will be doing myself. More to come....

Concorde Speedbird Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'll follow this one, sounds great! Should be a nice build. Any idea what engine you will use? CS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom T Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks, it should be fun to do! I think I will probably cover myself, I need to learn at some point aha, just may get some assistance with it . Engine wise, i am not to sure. I was looking around for an OS. 108 but I don't think they make them anymore, I'm not sure what engine, what do you think would be best?

Concorde Speedbird Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 At 64" span, for an aerobatic plane I reckon about 90-100 two stroke or 120 four stroke. OS do a 91FX two stroke and a 95AX, but there is the SC 108 two stroke which is an equivalent to the old OS 108. Depends what the kit suggests.
