About the Design: The Cap 232
is holding strong in the airshow world for it's great performance. It is easy to
see because of it's size, and the powerful engine allows great vertical
lines. That also makes it the perfect candidate for the ultimate 3D
machine. The entire plane has been designed and drawn in CAD with locking parts for a perfect,
strong, and straight airframe. Our side rail fuselage design excels at high
alpha flight, and dramatically improves high speed and low speed tracking.
(Looks really cool too!) It
also provides a much stronger (and lighter) fuselage, all so that you can push
the edge just a little bit further...

Building:
If you are new to Depron you HAVE
TO TRY IT!!! The stuff is great! It is all laser cut just like a big
wood kit! It is a tough foam with a smooth, glossy surface. It is easy to
airbrush, spray paint, or "marker". We ship it in from Europe, as it is not available here in the
USA. Give yourself a weekend to put all the parts together and get it
painted. It is a fast construction with no ribs, sticks or complicated
structures. We have provided a list of motors and battery combinations on the
plans to help you get the right equipment.

Basic kit:
Comes with all the parts laser cut and ready for assembly.
There is no cutting out parts by hand here! You will be provided with a
professional boxed kit with all parts in sealed bags. Kit includes all
spars, laser cut Depron, laser cut ply reinforcements and my radical
"Torqued" motor mount system. The full color, picture illustrated plans
and instruction manual are in digital format (.PDF) on CD and is your
choice whether to print them or view them on the computer. A full hardware
kit is included as shown below.
So what does the new "PRO"
version get you????
1) All Depron (not "Ultrafoam or FFF") LASER cut parts, all
hardware, my "Torqued" motor mount system, and the Build CD with all the
videos, plans, and manuals.
2) G-Force wing design: This is the heart of the PRO version. It is
a 6mm Depron core, the spar cutout is laser cut FOR YOU! So are the
aileron servo cutouts... Then the beautiful LE is all lightened up with
the lightning holes.... To top it off, the control horn slots are all cut,
ready for the cool 3D Foamy 3D control horns (included) The Beauty of the
deal is the top and bottom LE wing skins. It allows for slower airspeeds
on the down lines, totally eliminates high speed "hunting" (not much to
start with though) and improves the tracking to the point that you WILL
NOT think you are flying a "Flat" wing... The top wing cap covers the
servo and lightening cutouts... The bottom wing cap makes it all
symmetrical... By sanding the LE round, it creates a good separation point
for good clean snaps. The Caps carry back to MAC , then bevel into the 6mm
section. This creates a small vortex down the rest of the wing, allowing
better aileron control, less wing rock, and a little more "lift" for
slower landings. This also helps out with the glide ratio.... It looks
awesome too.... the aileron servos and wires are completely hidden in the
wing. No more servo leads dangling in the wind!
3) Direct Drive rudder and elevator linkage. The servos are located
as close as possible to the flight surface. It uses a short carbon pushrod
for control... The plane flies like a 40%er, and so now the controls are
setup the same too!

Molded Carbon Gear Option:
A fully molded composite (Carbon Fiber) main and tail gear set is
available separately.
They are extremely strong and light. The set includes the
axles, laser cut mounting parts, and instructions on assembly. A great option for
indoor and smooth runway operations. ($18.00) (See
Carbon gear Details here)
