 |  New life for 42% FMG Cap 232
I have taken on a project that saved the life of a severely crashed 42% FMG Cap 232. This is a German made kit: all composite fuse foam sheeted wings and stabs. I started out by stripping all of the interior formers and glass. reglassed the interior and cleaned up all of the exterior damage. Built all new formers and engine box. Modified the wings by running them through a band saw and installing the wing root to the fuse as fillets. Glassed the rudder and repaired the wings and stabs. Airframe info: wing span......127" fuse length.....119" engine.... 3W 200 B2 weight..........48.5 lbs I have slowly worked on this for the last 6 months and am looking at test flying by Christmas.

FMG (Flug Modelle Gross) Karlheinz Ruf- owner of FMG is a great guy. His planes rock. Posted below is a pic I took of his Cap 580 during a fly-in here in Germany. I got to hang out with the FMG crew and it was an absolute blast. Lets see the pics of the rebuilt one Shadow.
