Resurected H-9 CAP 232
This is a rebuild using salvaged parts from 3 wrecked CAPs. The Right wing panel and the tail group is from the first one that I spun in years back while the Left wing panel came from a friends that did not survive the first flight. The landing gear is from another one of mine, A SIG Cap 231. It was destroyed in a head to head mid air with a US Aircorps trainer. The gear was all that salvaged. The Aircorps went in the trash barrel.
Anyway, I stripped everything, joined the wing panels, built a new fuselage from aft of the cockpit forward and put on a new cowl from Stans Fibertech.
I decided that the SIG Breitling scheme would be an interesting change from the original Matt Chapman covering so that is the direction it went.
Power is a OS FT-160 twin which pulls the 11# plane with authority.
Yes I could have put a new one together with less effort but they are no longer available plus it was the principal of the thing.
