This 74 inch CAP232 can't be 28% scale
I have this CAP232 and I always wondered what the exact scale was. It's is definitely not 28%. I looked up a real CAP232's dimensions and assuming that this link is correct and that all CAP232's have the same wing span, the Kange CAP232 is 25.4%. Kangke should not advertise this as a 28% CAP232. I'm sure it's a typo, I've seen other mistakes on their site as well.
74/291 = 0.254 or 25.4%

You are correct with your math. The Carden 35% CAP is 102 inches in span. 102 / 291 = .35. How does the length compare? Perhaps it is 28% scale in length and the wings are shortened for better performance?

It's actually a little more than 27% if it's based on wing span.
80/291 = 0.275 = 27.5%
Even if the Kangke CAP is based on length it's still only 25.9 %. It's a typo I'm sure.
