i have a hanger9 cap 232 and a zenoah g32 and i was wondering if this plane would be able to hover and do 3d with this engine?

Zenoah doesn't make a G32 engine. You've either got a G23, G26, G38, G45, G62, or a GT80. Which is it?

What size Cap are we talking about here?

72" or the 80" ? There's a big weight difference between the 2 planes.

We need more info if you want a good answer?

The Zenoah's have rock solid performance but are quite heavy. The G-38 produces little more power than the new G-26 which weighs quite a bit less. The plane will be really nose heavy resulting in more weight needed it the tail to balance. If you do this move all the servos to the rear. You may also need to mount the battery in the rear. The prop should be fine however 3D would be marginal in this plane. Good luck

You will need to add weigth to the nose and/or remove weight from the tail. If you can move servos from the tail forward it will keep the weight down. The "rule" is every ounce in the tail takes 4 ounces in the nose to balance. Removing 2 each 1 oz servos will save a half pound (8 oz) in the nose.
