RE: Cap 232 35% kits.
as far as I know Carden is the only one. Hangar9 just re-released the 33% ARF which I have but thats about it really. Its a shame, the CAP is a suberb flying airplane and gets a bad rep for unknown reasons. I would love to see more CAP's modeled by other vendors but its not the flavor of the month so I dont see it happening anytime soon...

RE: Cap 232 35% kits.
From what I've been able to determine as to why the Cap gets a bad rap is because everyone uses loads of elevator thinking that the little half inch on most 35% ones is not enough, then they bury the elevator going too fast or just plain ole give all the elevator at once and here comes the very rapid stall as one should expect.
I have helped so many people with Caps that were unhappy about a stall problem just by lowering the rates and all of them have said it sure did not look like it was near enough until they saw mine or I changed theirs and flew it for them.
One thing to always remember is that powerful elevator is one of the primary reason a Cap tumbles so well at very slow speeds and why the Cap snaps like no other plane.

I like CAP exactly on this reason. I already flew on such plane and know their flying style.
