Description:	This ARF R/C model is manufactured by Black Horse Model in Vietnam. Wing and fuselage are completely built from wood. Although I've built the model carefully and triple checked for correct C.G., the plane flew catastrophically. After the first flight, I removed the elevator tips from the elevator control surface, because I suspected the elevator tips of getting warped during flight. Nevertheless, the second attempt to fly this plane was equally discouraging and ended in a damaged main gear section. Never repaired since then... As of today, I'm convinced that the specified C.G. is wrong and should be moved forward.

You can still see the elevator tips attached to the elevator control surfaces. I suspected them of getting warped during flight, so I removed them later.	Well, the CAP 232 has an awesome overall look.

Clear for engine start in order to perform maiden flight on a bright and sunny day in spring 2008...
