FlatOuts - Flat-out fun electrics!Matt Chapman CAP 580
Almost Ready-To-Fly EP Aerobatic Foam Profile Plane

Fantastic 3D flight ...in 2-3 hours flat!

Matt Chapman CAP 580

Based on the full-scale airshow favorite flown by Matt Chapman, this "flat foamy" is made the Great Planes way — straight, strong, easy on the eyes, and outrageous in 3D action.

Brushless Upgrade
Parts Layout
Fly in just 2-3 hours! Using foam-safe CA and the supplied custom hardware, you'll easily assemble the CAP's pre-printed foam panels and carbon rods into a sturdy, great-looking 3D model.
  Motor, Gearbox & Prop
A powerful T-370 brushed motor and gearbox are included and ready for installation. Also supplied are a slow fly propeller and prop saver that enables it to deflect at landing.
 
Matt Chapman
"It's always a thrill to accomplish spectacular aerobatics - whether I'm piloting my CAP 580 for airshow crowds or flying the FlatOuts model at a park with friends."

Innovative hardware for Tape-Free Assembly
Control Horns
Control Horns
The control horns have a larger than normal hole that fits the Z-bend pushrod connector without slop. The control does double duty as a hinge, reducing weight and assuring correct linkage geometry.
  Landing Gear
Landing Gear
Molded strut supports hold the 2 mm carbon rod landing gear legs in position. They're also braced at the fuselage, wing and wheels for a strong, properly reinforced landing gear.
 
Amazing Control Throw
Amazing Control Throw
Large servo arms and control horns offer up to 80 degree deflection.
  Clip-Hinge System
Clip-Hinge System
Clip-Hinges allow control surfaces to pop off in a crash and avoid damage.
 
Z-Bends
Z-Bends
A large bearing surface on the Z-bends reduces wear to prevent slop, unlike linkage systems that rely on small wire Z-bends. To make installation simple, the 1 mm carbon rod is secured in the Z-bend with a drop of CA.
  Tailwheel
Tailwheel
The tail gear pivots on the carbon fin post, allowing the snap-in tailwheel to steer the airplane while on the ground.
