This is it—the Cap the entire world has been waiting for.
Renowned designer Terry Wiles, celebrated for creating easy-to-fly, confidence-inspiring, high-performance aerobatic aircraft, has brought the iconic Cap design to life as an ARF for Extreme Flight. Unlike many previous attempts that fell short, this version is nothing short of spectacular.
Terry has preserved the instantly recognizable Cap styling, with its muscular cowl, long sleek lines, and unique tail, while infusing it with the predictability and stability of an Extra. The result is simply magnificent: solid, stable harrier locks, effortless long-line flights, low coupling, and exceptional authority for extreme aerobatics. The Cap does it all—and does it extremely well.
Built with all the hallmarks of an Extreme Flight aircraft—hand-selected balsa, composite-reinforced top-grade ply, and pultruded carbon structural members—the 67” Cap 580 is engineered for even the harshest maneuvers. Modern construction materials and techniques keep it strong yet light, with features like quick-locking wings and canopy retention for rapid assembly at the flying field.
It comes highly pre-fabricated, with pre-hinged and gap-sealed ailerons and elevator, all hardware included, spinner, foil wing bags, and quick-latching wings for effortless setup. Choose from two stunning Ultracote color schemes in the iconic Cap combinations: Red/Blue/Yellow or “Castrol” Green/White/Red, complete with full-color EF decals.
At Aerobertics, we believe in flying with confidence and precision—and the Cap 580 embodies that philosophy perfectly. With iconic looks, unmatched build quality, and breathtaking performance, it’s the ultimate choice for serious aerobatic pilots.
