CAP – Flying

CAP – Flying
Uwe Bundesen won the first CAP-contest in Europe. The contest was held within the German Champs for Indoor Models in 2014. There were seven competitors. The best flight times were over 5 minutes. Cap – flying is becoming popular because it overcomes some awkward properties of model impulse. Supercapacitors are cheap and readily available from several sources.
INAV  thanks Dr. Heinrich Eder for reporting on the contest.
