Great Planes 27% CAP 232 3D ARF

Power. Poise, Precision. The Great Planes 27% CAP 232 ARF has them all - and they're at your command after only 20-24 hours of easy assembly. Like the full-size World Aerobatic Competition winner, this model leaves contest judges looking for new words to praise its graceful aerobatics. Your friends at the local flying field? They'll be in absolute awe. Ideal for glow or gasoline engines, it excels at traditional sport flying and demanding IMAC/IMAA competition aerobatics. Smart engineering - like the balsa-sheeted, sculpted foam turtledeck - provides the lightweight strength needed for high-stress 3D maneuvers. Great Planes also includes a generous package of high-quality hardware to keep it flying like a champion.

GP CAP232 Gas Airplane 27% CAP 232 3D ARF, Great Planes MA1410 $349.98 
  • Expertly engineered for low weight and high performance.
  • Excellent "step up" for pilots eager to try a large, 3D-capable model.
  • Superior ARF quality - complete with proven Great Planes band hardware.
  • The two halves of the CAP 232's wing are epoxied together onto a hardwood joiner. Assembled into one piece, the wing then bolts directly to the fuselage. This helps minimize weight by avoiding the need for an aluminum joiner tube.
  • The composite landing gear offers smooth contours that perfectly complement the CAP 232's scale looks - and provides the strength and reliability needed for confident touchdowns.
  • The CAP 232 is engineered to perform IMAC competition maneuvers with judge-pleasing precision and grace. Stable slow speed flight characteristics also suit them well for fliers moving up from smaller models like the .46-size U-Can-Do 3D.
  • The CAP 232 offers an ideal balance of low weight and high structural integrity, both essential for performing high-stress 3-D maneuvers. The turtle deck is a good example - it's constructed of a precisely sculpted foam shell that's reinforced with balsa sheeting.
  • Assembling the factory-built components takes as little as 20-25 hours - no time at all for projects of this size. For years after any Great Planes model is introduced, replacement parts remain available so you can keep it in peak flying form.
  • The tail gangs two rudder servos in a pull/pull set-up that increases control precision. It's one of numerous design elements that combine to give these models the ability to execute any current 3-D maneuver perfectly.

The 79" span wing comes in two halves which are epoxied together onto a hardwood joiner. Easy to assemble, the one-pice wing then bolts directly to the fuselage. This helps minimize weight by avoiding the need for an aluminum joiner tube in the fuselage.
