The CAP 232 excels at traditional sport flying as well as demanding,
IMAC contest-worthy aerobatics. All of the control surfaces are
oversized to allow for aggressive 3D maneuvering. Control linkages
are short, direct, and dependable.

The fiberglass cowl and wheel pants — painted to match the
surrounding Top Flite MonoKote trim scheme — add to the CAP
232's scale-like looks. Great Planes does the work...but you enjoy
all the compliments!

Assembling the CAP 232's factory-built components takes as little
as 20-24 hours — no time at all for a model of this size. For years
after any Great Planes model is introduced, replacement parts
remain available so you can keep your model in peak flying form.

The CAP 232 offers an ideal balance of low weight and high
structural integrity, both essential for performing high-stress 3D
maneuvers. The turtle deck is a good example — it's constructed of
a precisely sculpted foam shell that's reinforced with balsa sheeting.

From every angle, the Great Planes 27% CAP 232 ARF is a
stunner! Distinctively different factory-applied trim schemes on
the top and bottom make it easy to follow the model's orientation
during maneuvers.

The CAP 232's tail gangs two rudder servos in a pull/pull set-up that
increases control precision. It's one of numerous design elements
that combine to give this model the ability to execute any current 3D
maneuver to perfection.

This CAP 232 is engineered to perform IMAC competition
maneuvers with judge-pleasing precision and grace. Stable slow
speed flight characteristics also make it a good choice for fliers
moving up from smaller models like the .46-size U-Can-Do 3D.

The composite landing gear offers smooth contours that
perfectly complement the model's scale looks — and provides
the strength and reliability needed for confident touchdowns

The 79” span wing comes in two halves which are epoxied together
onto a hardwood joiner. Easy to assemble, the one-piece wing then
bolts directly to the fuselage. This helps minimize weight by avoiding
the need for an aluminum joiner tube in the fuselage.

An ideal glow engine match is the O.S. 1.60 FX 2-stroke, which has
also been successfully tested in the model. It helps maximize the
model's potential by keeping weight low while supplying excellent
power

For gasoline engine power, Great Planes gives the Fuji-Imvac BT-
43EI the “thumbs up”. It has been extensively tested in the CAP 232
and passed with flying colors. The engine's Electronic Ignition
System offers easy starts and reduces weight and vibration.

A full-size CAP 232 carries a price tag of over $250,000. At just over 1/4
scale — and barely a fraction of the cost — this Great Planes model
recreates the exciting performance of the original, in a large size that
makes every maneuver a BIG event
