Default RE: GP Cap 232 40 Size Build Modifications.

Hi, i got an email that this thread had a new post.
Im no kit expert, but i sure would not build the wing from plans for another plane.
It seems you would be asking for trouble.
RVman in this thread lowered the dihedral on his wing, If he dosnt post again you could
email him here on RCU and ask if he likes the flight performance it gave him.
I forget were i read it, but great planes's designer claims the dihedral was planned espesially for the cap 232 and should not be altered.
On the other hand less dihedral may be an advantage for inverted flight.
mine flies good inverted, with a little down elevator. which could be made better with radio mixing.
heres a pic of mine after 20 flights, im still adjusting the trims and balance in all additudes for precision flight.
