About the Design:
Your 3DF SuperCAP was designed and manufactured by computer (CAD/CAM) for accuracy and
construction ease. The level of engineering and laser cutting has been hailed by
many as the highest in the industry. All parts have been precision cut on a CNC
laser cutting system at the 3D Foamy Models shop. Not only are 3DF planes
accurately manufactured, but they adhere to the full scale Cap 232 platform to
IMAC guidelines. This makes your plane fly like the big planes do! It also makes
it one of the best looking foamy’s out there, and a great trainer for
aerobatics. It’s no surprise that competition IMAC pilots prefer our planes to
practice competition routines.
The foam used
in your kit is the best quality available. Don’t be fooled by cheap imitations
of this incredible material. True Depron is only available from one place in the
entire world! Depron is very forgiving and easy to paint. It is also easy to
repair after mishaps. The composite laminate construction of the 3DF designs
makes them one of the strongest performance foamy’s in the world.
Some unique
construction techniques have been introduced by 3D Foamy models. The first is
the G-Force PRO™ wing. It revolutionized the flight performance of
foamy’s.
 All
foamy's are NOT created equal.....
3D Foamy kits are the first to offer this radical new wing design! The
G-Force PRO™ wing is the heart of the aircraft. It is a core layer with
beautiful lightning holes.... To top it off, servo bays and even the control
horn slots are all cut, ready for the cool 3D Foamy 3D control horns. (included)
The beauty of the deal is the top and bottom LE wing skins. It allows for slower
airspeeds on the down lines,
totally eliminates high speed "hunting" (not much to start with though) and
improves the tracking to the point that you WILL NOT think you are flying a
"Flat" wing... The top wing cap covers the servo and lightening cutouts... The
bottom wing cap makes it all symmetrical... By sanding the LE round, it creates
a good separation point for good clean snaps. The caps carry back to MAC, then
transition back into the hollow wing section. This creates a small vortex down
the rest of the wing, allowing better aileron control, less wing rock, and a
little more "lift" for slower landings. This also helps out with the glide
ratio.... It looks awesome too.... the aileron servos and wires are completely
hidden in the wing. No more servo leads dangling in the wind! Direct Drive
rudder and elevator linkage is part of the PRO kits.... The servos are located
as close as possible to the flight surface. It uses a short carbon pushrod for
control... The plane flies like a 40%er, and so now the controls are setup the
same too!
 The
second unique construction technique is the composite laminate method of the
entire airframe. This includes the lightened core layer of foam, and then outer
sheet layers. This weight saving; strength increasing technology allows a larger
airframe at the same weight of a smaller model. Incorporated into this
technology is our Hinge Core™ design. Tapes are nice, but look bad and
don’t last. Hinges are the natural choice, but requires accurate placement and
drilling of 26 holes in foam. For most modelers this is a chore and leaves some
frustrated. We fixed this with our new construction methods! It leaves you with
perfect CAD/CAM manufactured hinging solution. No guessing, measuring, drilling
or mistakes! Simply drop in the high quality Robart Hinge Points and you’re
done. I hope that you are going to enjoy building and flying this plane as much
as I have!

Building:
The
prototype took 6 hours to build. It assembles with 100% interlocking tabbed
construction to help eliminate mistakes. This is an advanced kit. It is not
recommended for beginners. Some basic building skills are required to
successfully complete the airframe. The construction uses only carbon, 2mm
and 3mm foam for a super light airframe. Laminated into the airframe is over
20 feet of carbon spars and reinforcements. The laminated construction ties
the motor mount to 4 full length and 2 partial length stringers for superior
motor mount strength. This plane is made to out last other foam planes (and
wood ones too). Our top of the line hardware package makes setting up your
radio a simple, accurate, slop free process. We have utilized carbon
push-pull rods on all flying 5 surfaces. Dubro connectors provide an easy to
adjust and long lasting attachment method. To allow free and full control
authority we have designed the airframe around Robart Hinge Points. Our Hinge
Core™ construction method leaves you with perfectly spaced holes on all
control surfaces for a no drilling hinge installation. Building the kit is a
complete joy.

Typical Kit Contents
|
 |
|
Flight: Precision, Precision,
Precision! You'll feel like you are one with your airplane. It
instantly starts and stops to the smallest control inputs. The feel is like
no other foamy you have ever flown. Slower than most, and also faster at the
same time. |
|
|
Take off: As simple as a hand launch, but add the landing gear and
you'll be in for a fast 5 foot take off roll! |
|
|
Low speed: Super stable, lots of wing area to allow control. Excels at
slow speed maneuvering. Controls remain extremely responsive no matter
how slow you get. This plane also glides! Its not yanked through the air
like other foamy's it has an airfoil and actually flies. |
|
|
High speed: This is the fastest
foamy you have ever seen. Absolute tracking and precision at high speeds.
Does not hunt or oscillate like other foamy's do. |
|
|
Aerobatics: Lately 3D has been watered down to what used to be "Fun Fly"
stuff. True 3D is a combination of precision aerobatics and a list of
special routines. (Check out the "Whats 3D" page)
The SuperCAP brings you into the performance and precision of the giant
scale world and opens doors to maneuvers that you have never been able to
practice with out spending thousands. From tip spins to blenders,
parachutes, waterfalls and more; You'll love flying your routine with this
new precision aircraft. You'll really enjoy the SuperCAP's pure control
harmony. It is couple free and does the most incredible high alpha knife
edges, at crawling speeds. |
|
|
Landings: Catch it, belly it, or get the landing gear and do some touch
and go's. You'll love the glide and flair that our
G-Force PRO™ wing gives you. |
