RE: THE WINGS MAKER CAP 232 .46
I know this post is a little old, however, I have just recently completed this excellent quality ARF from The Wings Maker and thought I should tell you about it. I don't have a whole lot of experience with ARF's as this is my first, but I must say it was a great experience to put this plane together. The instructions were a little vague ( installing the wheel pants was VERYvague) but overall the plane turned out pretty damn good. I was quite impressed with the pre-painted fiberglass cowling, it shines like you wouldn't believe, plus the kit comes with a clear plastic cowling in two parts that made it a breeze to line up all of the cuts that needed to be made without worrying about making any mistakes! The covering was a little wrinkled but smoothed right out with a hot iron and a little clear nail polish helped keep down a few of the edges (lightning bolts). I was also surprised that the kit came with a high quality (matching) pilot and a pre-cut canopy! As for the $99.00 price tag, well worth it. I had never heard of The Wings Maker company before, but after building this ARF I will not hesitate to purchase another from them in the future. I haven't flown it yet but as soon as I have I will let you know how it does. As you can see from the photos I added a remote fuel port and a "photo" cockpit that I took of one of Patty Wagstaffs planes.
