I bought this kit,with some shipping damage and missing fin and rudder.It is a 40 size plane.Colors are white blue and pink.it is an arf and never had a box or instructions or cg reference.wings were built to accomodate a servo each side.I can fly it it safely and looks like it has nearly unlimited potential.The cowl is glass and was prepainted.The rear body is of stick construction,with balsa deck.Love the cap (232?) and if anybody knows its origin I would greatly appreciate solving this little mystery.

I kinda looks like the old Greatpalnes 40 size Cap ARF (circa 1999). Mine would just barely fly with a 46 so I bought a OS 60fp, it flew much better. I did have a horizontal stab FALL OFF and GP replaced the entire plane. The plane looked cool and flew very fast but it handled terribly.
I think the kit was 2 bills and I ended up giving it away to a young flyer at our field.

I dont think it is a GP.Some of the hardware seemed offshore.This little demon flies very well.It is frighteningly agile and quick with my magnum 46 pro and apc 12x4 prop.Yet when flown at reduced throttle it just flies nicely and crisp.Stalls are virtually non existent,only when really pushing the slow or high g envelope,and then they are more warning stalls.it never seems to want to fall out of the sky.I have put this thing through the most nastiest,brutal aerial ballet,and it has not come apart or even showing signs of weakness anywhere.I am sure one day someone will reckongnize this kit.Main reason is,so I can get a possible replacement cowl if needed,or any other parts that may get damaged.I couldnt find anybody local to make me a copy,before I installed it.
