12 JUL 06: CAP232 FLIES AGAIN

A FIX has been developed and approved by EASA which means the French CAP 231 and 232 single-seat aerobatic aircraft shouyld be flying and competing at top level soon. The aircraft were grounded almost a year ago after bulkhead and wing spar problems and a specialist, Regis Alajouanine, has been working on a mod.

This has now been tested in flight and also using heavy duty jigs at Le Centre d'Essais Aeronautique (CEAT) in Toulouse. All aircraft will eventually be repaired at Air Menuiserie, an approved maintenance organisation based at CAP's former home airfield of Bernay. The mod will cost 5000-6000 euro.
