Flying Your Cap 232 BP
Flying the Cap 232 BP is about as fun as it can get at
the park. A very light wing loading and extreme control
throws make for some exciting 3D flying. Verify that your
CG is at the correct location as per the manual and that
you have your rates set up to your liking. Verify all control
throws are in the correct direction and the motor spins in
the correct direction as well.
Point the model into the wind and add some throttle trim
until the motor begins to turn. This will be your flight idle.
Now, apply power slowly. You will find the model will
become airborne very quickly and at a low speed. This
model excels at flying slow and easy as well as slow and
extreme. Trim the model for level flight at half throttle. Only
use full throttle for maneuvering. Do not fly this model fast
or at full throttle in level flight. Doing this will result in the
flight controls fluttering and a potential catastrophic failure
of the airframe.
You will find you can adjust the CG to your liking by
moving the battery pack fore or aft on the fuselage. Also
keep the battery on the fuselage mounted high (at least at
wing centerline or above) to help in hovering maneuvers
and harriers.
To land the Cap 232 BP just reduce the throttle to idle and
feed in up elevator until the model settles into a slightly
nose high attitude. Gently fly the model down to the
landing spot with a final flair at touchdown. You will find
the model will have a very short roll out. We hope you
enjoy the Cap 232 BP as much as we do.
Happy landings.
