72” Modeltech Cap 21, $300 OBO
Hi Everyone,
Selling a Modeltech Cap 21 that I purchased awhile back. Great build and an excellent flying model. Great for those getting into giant-scale or those who want to relive years past.
Just add your receiver and receiver battery, add fuel, and go fly!
Looks like I was the fourth owner, but technically only the second person to fly the model as the second and third owner did not fly the model.
Airplane is quite unique. From what I gathered, it was originally built by the original owner in Germany who then moved to the US. With that being said, it has Graupner/JR servos, a Robbe switch, Robbe wheels/accessories, and a Toni Clark Zenoah G23/header/canister.
Workmanship is fantastic, very clean with great attention to detail (i.e. wing servos are side-mounted and hidden, covers exist where the pushrods exit, G10 firewall created that is removeable for the canister/header, etc.). Ducting added to keep the canister and any heat away from the radio gear, just a clean build overall.
I did replace all fuel plumbing, the fuel tank, and created a tray for the fuel tank to be secured to. I have flown the model a few times, flies just like a pattern model and is very maneuverable in pitch. Model will perform great flat spins, tumbles, etc. Great for the old-school giant-scale flying fix!
E-mail with any questions or should you want to see additional images ([email protected]).
Prefer local pickup only at this time (greater Boston area).
Best,
John
