Default Kyosho CAP 232 40 manual as pdf?

Helluuu there. I bought a second hand CAP 232 40 the other day, and have equipped it with servos and radio now.
I came to think of one thing. How many degrees should the aelerons/rudder move, and a friend suggested a glance in the manual for building the plane. Well, I bought is second hand, I don't have any manual!
Do any of you guys out there have any idea were to get a manual for the CAP 232 40 as a pdf file? I have only found one, but that was for the Kyosho CAP 232 60, not my size! /Regards, Jozzi in Sweden

I was flying that model today. It's a good one.
I bought it from a friend who was going to dump it at a swap meet. Still in the box. There was an instruction booklet and an addendum that corrected just about every other instruction in the booklet.

Their suggestions for surface deflections was as follows:
SURFACE ......HIGH RATE.................LOW RATE
Elevator 14mm up, 14mm down....8mm up, 8mm down
Ailerons 9mm up, 9mm down.......6mm up, 6mm down
Rudder 32mm left, 32mm right..... same

I've got slightly more aileron deflection and more rudder deflection on my CAP. I've also mixed Rudder/elevator since it tucks toward the gear quite a lot in knife edge.

They suggest a CG at 81mm back from the LE at the root. I found that to be much too forward. Their supplement says 81mm, the booklet said 95-110. The airplane really didn't fly well with the CG that far forward.

Mine came out to 5lbs 4oz.

Thousands of thanks for this answer and your suggestions about placing the CG point!
I'm going to mount the throttle servo tonight, since the former owner had a much smaller servo for throttle operations and had modified the servo position by adding some thin sheet of wood over the ordinary hole made for it.
I look forward to getting up in the air, and I am going to train hard this summer to learn aerobatic flight..."aresti.
Hope not to break my plane the first thing I do...
Just love it..! Thanks again for the answer, it helps a lot! /Regards, Jozzi in Sweden
