CAP 232

A 10th anniversary is a great reason to celebrate, and what better way to mark such a wonderful milestone than by creating a whole new division? That's just what the folks at Southgate Aero Inc. have done; they're proud to introduce the creation of Aerodrome Models. This CAP 232 is only one of several almost-ready-to-cover, fully aerobatic models that Aerodrome will offer. That's right-fully aerobatic. Aerodrome Models will feature planes designed by IMAC pilots for IMAC pilots. Constructed of premium-grade balsa and ply with a fully sheeted wing and tail feathers, all Aerodrome models will feature laminated ply and carbon-fiber firewalls, removable wings and horizontal stabs with servo cutouts, lightweight fiberglass cowls, wheel fairings, aluminum landing gear, clear canopies and illustrated instruction manuals. The kits will also be available in a combination package with a Taurus engine. The 31-percent CAP 232 (shown here) sells for $526.
