That Alitalia Cap has been around for a long time. It was once sold as the Extreme Aircraft CAP 232.
Back then if you even suggested that this CAP was the same as the Chip HydeCAP-X you'd get flamed. Now it has been resurrected as the Chip Hyde CAP-X ARF? Well whaddy ya know?

Back on 6/10/2005 I posted the following (Post #: 782 on page 32) in this thread:

"Can anyone direct me to a post that shows evidence that the Chip Hyde CAP -X and the Extreme Aircraft CAP 232 and not the same ARF kit?
There are those who keep saying they're not the same plane but all I can find are similarities.

It's understandable that if you got hooked for $379.00 for a CAP -X that you wouldn't want to believe that somebody else got the same plane under another name for only $249.99.

Just some observations:
1. Elevator servo openings too large in the fuselage of both planes.
2. Both have a 73" wing span even though the Cap -x is advertised as 74".
3. For both kits you have to purchase push rods, clevises, tail wheel assembly, main wheels, wheel axles, rudder pull-pull rigging.
4. Aluminum control horns in both kits.
5. Aluminum motor mounts with vibration isolators in both kits.
6. Extreme Aircraft CAP 232 current price $249.99, reduced from $299.95, reduced from $329.95 and offered in two color choices.
7. Chip Hyde CAP -X (also called a CAP 232 ) current price $299.00, reduced from
$329.00, reduced from $379.00. "
