Default RE: GP CAP232 Build

Originally I built the kit per the Great Planes plan. When I reworked it I used the leading edge of the trailing edge sheeting as a guide to cut the ribs, the torque rod blocks and the wing hold down plate off. I also shortened each cap strip and the center section sheeting 7/8". From this point I just rebuilt the trailing edge again from new material in the same manner as the original plan omitting the torque rods. Instead of using solid balsa for the ailerons, I built them up. This leaves the wing chord the same as the original plan, but instead of an 1 1/8" aileron I have 1 5/8". The servos are mounted on removable panels in the wing, centered the best I could on the aileron. I copied this servo mount design from my GP Super Skybolt. The roll rate is much improved, but not to the point of a 3D plane.
