Phoenix Cap 232
Introducing
The CAP 232 just like the -230 and -231/-231EX were slightly modified to strengthen the fuselage structure after a fatal accident in 2005 which grounded them for a full year. Fuselage rib n°2 holding the landing gear and the wing spar has been reinforced externally and internally. The planes are now back to competition and came second (individual with a -231EX), sixth with a -232, and first team at the WAC 2007. After 20 years, the basic CAP 230 airframe is still competitive.
The Cap 232 ARF is designed to be simple and easy to assemble. All the surfaces are finished at the factory. Featuring pre-covered fuselage and wings with great looking color scheme sure to catch the eye of everyone. This airplane is all laser cut and is a great aerobatic performer. The plane comes with fiberglass cowl and wheel pants. Just a few simple jobs installing radio gear, installing engine, etc and you will be flying.
