Futaba) (receiver to each wing)
❏

RUDDER SERVO OPTIONS:
The large size of the rudder on the Giant CAP 580 requires
a lot of servo torque. Our testing shows that less than 300
inch ounces of servo power results in rudder “blow back”
during certain maneuvers. We have three recommendations
to provide adequate performance:
A. The instructions are written for two quarter scale Futaba
S5050 servos. This is the recommended setup.
B. It is possible to use standard size high torque servos
ganged together. There are two servo openings on either
side of the fuse for standard size servos. A 150+ oz/in
standard size servo can be installed on either side of the
fuse. Two 2" [50mm] servo arms will need to be purchased.
C. Four standard size high torque servos (with a total of 300+
oz/in torque) can be used. This is the least recommended
of the setups, and will require modifications not covered in
this manual to install the 4 servos.
The recommended engine size range for the Great Planes 1/3-
scale Matt Chapman CAP 580 is 4.2-7.2 cu in [80-120cc]. The
DA100 provided fantastic power with unlimited vertical and the
weight balanced nicely. If an engine in the upper end of the
size range is used, remember that this is a scale model that is
intended to fly at scale-like speeds, so throttle management
must be practiced.
In addition to the items listed in the “Decisions You Must
Make” section, following is the list of hardware and accessories
