Great Planes 27% CAP 232 ARF

Great Planes® 27% CAP 232 ARF

Features

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.

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.

The fiberglass cowl and wheel pants — painted to match the surrounded 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!

The landing gear is constructed of a fiberglass composite that — in addition to offering smooth contours that perfectly complement the model's scale looks — provides the strength and reliability needed for confident touchdowns.
