I have the GP Cap232, the new one and I can tell you that it floats big time. I had a dead stick when I had the fuji43 in it and it floated 600 feet right down the runway and into the high grass at the end and by the time it got to the end I could almost walk right next to it. The normal snappiness does not exist as long as you stay at book throughs and BTW, I have a Da50 in mine and it weighs 13.75lbs. Need I say more????
