I have a small trainer (TD) and a chloral plast (evestrough) plane, Do you think I'm ready for a Cap 232 kit.
Thanks, DT
It depends. IF you are reasonably skilled you may be OK. If you can fly the pattern INVERTED (rectangle, horizontal figure 8, etc ), then you MAY be OK with a SPORT SCALE Cap 232 ON LOW RATES.
I would not suggest a scale 232. They fly/handle differently than a sport scale.
If you have a simulator, set the wind to about 10 - 12 mph and at a 45 degree angle to the runway with gusts medium, then fly the Cap in the simulator. If you can successfully land the plane 3 times out of 5, then you should be OK. The sim will give you a pretty good idea of your abilities.
