Default RE: Kyosho CAP 232 40 manual as pdf?

I was flying that model today. It's a good one.
I bought it from a friend who was going to dump it at a swap meet. Still in the box. There was an instruction booklet and an addendum that corrected just about every other instruction in the booklet.

Their suggestions for surface deflections was as follows:
SURFACE ......HIGH RATE.................LOW RATE
Elevator 14mm up, 14mm down....8mm up, 8mm down
Ailerons 9mm up, 9mm down.......6mm up, 6mm down
Rudder 32mm left, 32mm right..... same

I've got slightly more aileron deflection and more rudder deflection on my CAP. I've also mixed Rudder/elevator since it tucks toward the gear quite a lot in knife edge.

They suggest a CG at 81mm back from the LE at the root. I found that to be much too forward. Their supplement says 81mm, the booklet said 95-110. The airplane really didn't fly well with the CG that far forward.

Mine came out to 5lbs 4oz.
