Caproni CA100 "Caproncino" - RC Wood Model Aircraft Kit 1:7 Scale

The Caproni CA100, affectionately nicknamed Caproncino, is a training and touring biplane designed in Italy based on the De Havilland D.H. 60, with some modifications typical of the Caproni tradition: the wingspan of the lower wing was increased compared to the upper one, and the geometry of the tailplanes was slightly revised. The prototype first flew around 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 Aero Clubs throughout Italy. Equipped with floats, it also successfully flew as a seaplane.

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

📐 Technical Data

  • Scale: 1/7
  • Lower wingspan: 143 cm
  • Upper wingspan: 118 cm
  • Length: 104 cm
  • Wing area: 49.2 dm²
  • Flight weight: 1,400–1,700 g
  • Wing loading: 28–33 g/dm²
  • RC Functions: Rudder, Elevator, Ailerons, Motor
  • Power: Lipo 3-4S, 2400–2800 mAh – BL Motor 300–400W 1000KV

🔨 Construction Features

Faithful to the original: The model faithfully reproduces the Caproncino in 1/7 scale, entirely made of wood like the original aircraft. The wings are ribbed with a plano-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 fit onto carbon spars and are held in place by magnets, for quick, tool-free assembly. The wing struts, permanently screwed to the lower wing, simply clip onto the upper wing.

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

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

📦 Kit Contents

The kit includes all the components necessary for the basic structure of the model:

  • Two 1:1 scale construction drawings, color printed (fuselage with sections and formers + wings with ribs)
  • High-quality woods, specifically selected according to their intended use to ensure the best balance between stability and weight: thin birch plywood, poplar plywood, balsa plywood, balsa wood, as well as various spruce, kiri, beech, and balsa strips
  • Carbon spars for wing attachment
  • Magnets and pins for canopy and wing attachment
  • Scale wheels
  • Pre-bent landing gear

  • Control horns
  • Thermoformed engine cowling
  • Adhesive decals
  • Dashboard with instrument print
  • Aluminum towing system with RC release

⚙️ Required Components (NOT Included)
