Great Planes CAP-232
On mine, I strengthened the main gear area a little bit as I heard that area was weak. Also I opened up the top former which was over the fuel tank to allow me to raise my tank up so that the center line was even with my OS70's needle valve.
THe leading edges on my stabilizer have mooshed in somewhat from the foam padded bars that hold the plane on our tables at the field. They mooshed from the thrust of the engine pulling the CAP into the bars during break-in and warm ups. You might want to soak these areas with thin CA if you have this situation at your field.
Can't think of much more. Good kit, lousy plastic cowl, nice flier.
Good luck with yours.
