Caproni CA100 "Caproncino" - 1:10 Scale RC Wooden Model Airplane Kit

The Caproni CA100, affectionately nicknamed Caproncino, is a biplane trainer and touring aircraft designed in Italy based on the De Havilland D.H. 60, with some modifications typical of Caproni tradition: the wingspan of the lower wing was increased compared to the upper one, and the geometry of the tail surfaces was slightly revised. The prototype first flew towards the end of 1928, and series production began in 1929. Several models were built, differing mainly in their engines. Produced in large quantities, it was used in both civil and military contexts for initial pilot training and in Aeroclubs throughout Italy. Equipped with floats, it also successfully flew as a seaplane.

Today, two original airworthy examples survive and are flown regularly: one with land gear and the other with floats.

📐 Technical Data

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Lower wingspan: 100 cm
  • Upper wingspan: 82 cm
  • Length: 73 cm
  • Wing area: 24.6 dm²
  • Flying weight: 500–550 g
  • Wing loading: 20–23 g/dm²
  • RC Functions: Rudder, Elevator, Ailerons, Motor
  • Power: LiPo 2-3S, 800–1000 mAh – BL Motor 60–100W 1000KV

🔨 Construction Features

Faithful to the original: The model faithfully reproduces the Caproncino at 1/10 scale, entirely made of wood like the original aircraft. The wings are ribbed with a flat-convex airfoil, docile and easy to build.

Birch-covered fuselage: As on the original, the fuselage is covered with 0.5 mm birch plywood, which ensures high structural stability while keeping weight to a minimum.

Quick field assembly: The wings slot onto 5 mm carbon spars and are held in place by magnets, for fast, tool-free assembly. The wing struts, permanently screwed to the lower wing, simply clip onto the upper wing.

Easy battery access: The upper part of the engine cowl is removable and secured by magnets and pins, for quick and convenient battery access.

Flight behavior: Thanks to its large wing area and low wing loading, the Caproncino flies docilely even at low speeds. The ailerons, present only on the lower wing but generously sized, ensure excellent maneuverability on all three axes. Note: Despite its good flight characteristics, the model is not intended for beginners — some experience with three-axis models is required to fly it.
