remember that larger can also equate to heavier. We also suggest
that you routinely use an Expanded Scale Voltmeter (ESV) at the
field to check the charge condition of your batteries. This common
piece of field equipment can save your model!

ENGINE SELECTION

The SIG CAP 231EX ARF has been flown with a variety of 2 and
4-stroke engines. As everyone knows, there is no substitute for
power and the engines recommended for this model all provide
good power margins. Naturally, the larger engines in this range
make more power and will fly the CAP with more authority than the
smaller engines. It is simply a matter of how you want to fly this
airplane. We can tell you that our testing with both the Irvine 1.20
and 1.50 2-stroke engines was very good. Both engines make
great power and are easy to install and operate. In the case of the
1.50, we use a 16 x 8 APC prop and find the power sufficient to
achieve excellent vertical performance, with power to spare. When
using a 2-stroke engine, mufflers are always a problem. But not in
this case! SIG stocks a special in-cowl muffler for use with the
CAP and either the Irvine 1.20 or 1.50 engines. This muffler is very
effective, fits perfectly and was expressly designed for use in the
CAP. It is SIG part number IRV120150M. In the 4-stroke range,
good engine choices might be the YS 1.20 or 1.40 and
others such as the Saito 1.20, 1.50, or the newer 1.80.

We have done no testing of gasoline engines for this model and
cannot recommend any one particular engine over another.
However, should you decide to power your CAP with a gasoline
engine, be very sure to use gasoline compatible fuel tubing and a
fuel tank meant for gasoline.

TOOLS AND SUPPLIES

The CAP ARF requires a variety of typical hobby tools and
supplies found in most workshops. For example, you will need a
power drill, a selection of drill bits, a Dremel® Tool, screwdrivers
(both slotted and phillips), a soldering iron and solder, pliers, a
hobby knife with a selection of blades, a ruler, a tape measure,
masking tape, wax paper, petroleum jelly, threadlocking
compound, such as Loctite®, etc.

You will also need a variety adhesives. We suggest you have both
thin and thick SIG CA glues handy, as well as both 5 and
30-minute epoxy glues. For ease of mounting the elevator splitter
cables, we found that clear silicon adhesive works great. These
assembly instructions will be specific regarding adhesives. While
we all have our own preferences, we would urge you to give
careful consideration to these suggestions.
