The Hangar 9
™
1/3 Scale CAP 232 accepts gas engines ranging
from 60 through 80cc's. The prototype CAPs were flown using

®
G-62s and GT-80s. The G-62 offers good sport
performance and is a good choice for doing all IMAC basic and
sportsman maneuvers. While the G-62 equipped CAP doesn't
quite provide unlimited vertical performance, most experienced
sport flyers find that the G-62 offers plenty of power for all but
the most aggressive types of aerobatics.
If you're a 3-D fanatic or an Advanced or Unlimited IMAC class
competitor, Zenoah's GT-80 offers unlimited power for vertical
multiple Snaps, Hovers, and Torque Rolls.
Using a GT-80
Before beginning this section, remove the standard GT-80 prop
drive and replace with the 2" prop drive (ZEN20004).
Step 1.
Using 5-minute epoxy, glue the 1" x 1" square plywood
plates to the back of the firewall centered over the four predrilled
mounting holes. Blind nuts will be mounted in these plates.
When the epoxy has cured, drill through the front of the firewall
and the plywood plates at the four engine mounting hole
locations using a 5/16" drill bit.
(continued — Step 1 illustration)
Step 2.
Fit the engine to the firewall using four 1/4 x 20 socket
head screws, split washers, and blind nuts provided.
