Great Planes Matt Chapman 1/3 Scale CAP 580 ARF

Great Planes^® 1/3 Scale Matt Chapman CAP 580 ARF

Features

You can assemble this ARF in as little as 15-20 hours. The airframe features built-up wood construction with factory-applied Top Flite^® MonoKote^® covering. A fiberglass cowl and wheel pants are also included, as well as a pilot figure (not shown).

The fuselage offers two locations for the aluminum tube that joins the main wing halves. This allows you to adjust the plane’s wing position to achieve the proper center of gravity, no matter what engine you choose from the recommended range.

Stabilizer halves, each with its own elevator servo, slide onto aluminum joiners and remove easily for transport. Positive rudder control is provided by dual servos, which are coupled using supplied linkage hardware created expressly for large-scale models.

World-famous looks and performance!

Everywhere flown — from Muncie to Slovakia — Matt Chapman’s full-size CAP 580 is an instant hit. Great Planes captures its standout trim scheme and aerobatic ability in this exclusive and officially licensed 1/3 scale ARF which experienced pilots can turn loose for “everyday” sport flying, sizzling 3D maneuvers, and serious IMAC competition!

Factory-painted fiberglass cowl and wheel pants match the look of Matt Chapman’s full-scale favorite.

Canopy doubles as a convenient hatch that lifts off for fast access to the spacious radio compartment.

Premium custom heavy-duty hardware is included — hinges, control horns, pushrods and other hardware to carry the model through demanding maneuvers with confidence.

Uses two servos to actuate each aileron control surface, providing the muscle for crisp, precise deflection.

Steerable tailwheel provides positive ground handling.

“I’m thrilled with how accurately Great Planes reproduced the trim scheme of my CAP 580 on this model. As an R/C pilot and IMAC competitor myself, I enjoy flying it almost as much as the full-size aircraft!”
