Hi my Dad has a Kyosho cap 232 and he has just had to rebuild it and all he did was pull out of a KE too fast!! I don't think this plane is right for 3d the control surfaces are too small and my dads has a nasty snap and stall on it i don't know if yours is the same but it's great for sport flying but not really for 3d.......hope this helps......Flyjunkie
