Cap 232 Data ...please help
 

I see a Cap 232 possibly 7+ years old with about a 75-80 wing span. It had a DA 50 on it at one time, and it looks like a ARF. Any Idea who made this airplane and maybe a link to some specifications on it? Thanks Capt,n

The pic in post #3 is my Extreme Aircraft Cap 232. I cam tell by the RCM decals on the fuselage. and the dorky pilot. This model is virtually the same (with different color scheme) as the Chip Hyde Cap-X.

That's my video..! The plane is a Hangar 9 80" Alitalia Cap 232 (as stated in the title of the video). They've been out of production for 6-7 years now. I had that plane NIB for several years and even tried to sell it a few times (unsuccessfully). I finally got around to putting it together late last summer on a whim. I had maybe a dozen or so flights on the plane when that video was shot. I flew it 40-50 times and then sold it RTF to help fund another project - wish I hadn't! I fly 40%'s almost exclusively and that was a great little knockaround plane. Too bad H9's doesn't build them like that anymore awesome build quality and materials yet still very light. The one-piece wing was a serious PITA, though... It was 15.5lbs built exactly per spec with a DA50 and Pitts muffler. A few carbon bits and it would've been in the 14lb range easily - it didn't need any lightening, though.
