To your wife....I probably would not have bought the Hanger 9 Cap232 sport 40 as I thought I might have trouble getting more than one flight out of it. Buuuuut.....local hobby shop got in 30 of them and sold them for $89.95 apiece!!! Wife said she owed me a plane for past birthday, so I got one and am not sorry. Put a Saito 72 on it and have only made three flights on it, but can't wait to improve my flying the plane. I get a little bolder with each flight. Oh, the shop sold out in five days. The trick on this plane is it carries a SPORT wing and slightly longer fuselage. So it will do all the aerobatics the scale 232 would do, but is more forgiving, although mine did a snap roll I did not put in. It's an ARF, so you just assemble it. My observations.
