All,
I'm sure this thread is dead but I just recently acquired an 85" Cap 232 and I too encountered the above triming issues. I purposely installed a known heavy powerful motor to A - test this motor and B- to have a good throw down plane for weekend hacking around.
I think Tom is correct you do need to plan and work a little harder to get the plane trimed like you want. I see no problems to get the plane to do what I need to do.
