difference between cap231 and cap232
 
This is probably a stupid question but I just want to know what the difference is between a 231ex and a 232.
what does the 231 and 232 stand for?

I think the difference is who made the wings, I think the 231 had wings made by Mudry, and the 232 had the Extra designed wings, I could be mistaken (my memory fails me occasionally).

CAP 231 vs 232
 
Greetings,
The most advertised 231 EX I know of belongs to Matt Chapman. The EX is the designation of the "EXtra" built wings. In 1994 the French team won the worlds with the 231EX models at which time Walter Extra quit building wings for Mudry (CAP). Thus followed the 232 with Mudry built wings. If memory serves the span is 6" shorter on the 232 as compared with the 231EX.

As additional information the CAP 222 is the French version of the Giles 202 (something about registration numbers being different). And the Giles is no longer made.

I will try to get some pictures of planes on the new gallery. I have some nice ones of Matt's CAP.

The cap 222 is a certified G-202 that they had to do alot of work to make it pass the certifacation.

The 231ex is the older one with the extra wing. the ex is for extra.
The 232 is the new one with cap's own wing.
