    3D 50% cap 232

    That plane was started over 20 years ago by York, John and a few other guys. They built the plug and laid up 2 fuselages, 2 cowlings, 1 elevator and stab and 1 set of wings but only 1 aileron. The only plug still around is the wing. I bought one fuselage and cowling set in the raw form from my...

    3D 50% cap 232

    90% of it is light ply. Then I have some 1/8 inch burch and 1 piece of 1/4 inch burch ply for the landing gear plate and F1. I know it is heavy in those spots but one of the places I fly has sprinklers that love to take out gear. Question to you... As a builder I am curious to know the fuselage...

    3D 50% cap 232

    The fuselage weighs 4 pounds 4.1 ounces. It's 95% glued here is a picture of the stress test. I weigh 189 pounds. And yes the fuselage is still in one piece.

    3D 50% cap 232

    Here are a couple video clips of me flying my old composite (thanks jeremy). Just thought I would share it to show everybody where my inspiration and excitement for the new one is coming from. It flew great and I can't wait for this one to fly even better.

    3D 50% cap 232

    Saturday was a great day. I got a ton done in the shop. I am hoping to start glueing today or tomorrow. Does anybody know the best length for the ZDZ headers with JBW canisters? I am at 4,500 altitude. Thanks

    3D CAP 232-ST design / build / prototype

    How cool is this 2 caps being built at the same time. Let's start a cap revolution! I am not going to do a snorkel on mine. I have done a couple in the past on other planes and did not really like them. That is just my preference.

    3D 50% cap 232

    50% cap 232. I have had a few drawings and ideas on how to do this project for a few years now. Last year when I was finishing up my custom built 52% edge 540 I thought about what project to do next and decided to bring this cap to life. My first step was calling G&L hobbies to see if he would...
