Dave that's a tuff question to answer & one that I had not too long ago as well. You said Cap 232 kit. If that is indeed correct & you aren't referring to an ARF, I would say at least go ahead & start your build. It will take a good long time to kit-build a nice Cap & in the meantime you can be getting all the stick time in that you can. By the time the Cap is done you could be much further along in your flying that you are now. As for when you're actually ready to fly a Cap? Only you can really answer that. When you decide you're ready, all I can say is start out with minimul control throws & fly it right to the ground when you land it. Mine actually was easier to land I thought, than my Trainers. It wouldn't float all over the place in the wind, but just sort of slide right in under the wind nice & straight. And in the air it flew like it was on rails! I'm really going to miss that plane! Good luck Dave.
