For a tail-dragger, the rollout is easy and there s little if any tendency to ground loop. For my style of flying, I preferred to use the low rate recommendations for high rate, and I reduced those throws by 40 percent for my low-rate settings. Since I have no experience in 3D aerobatics, I cannot comment on those control settings. Designed by Dave Patrick, the CAP 232 does every trick in the book and looks and feels good doing them. The model performs all the maneuvers with authority.
Loops are big and flow smoothly, while rolls are very near axial.
Four-point rolls require only slight rudder inputs to hold a straight line. Inverted flight is easy with a very slight amount of down required, and knife-edge showed just a hint of pitch coupling. The minimal time you ll spend assembling this model, coupled with its high quality, makes the Hangar 9 CAP 232 a scale aerobatic dream come true.
