2. Slide the aluminum wing spar into the fuselage
centering it. Now slide on a wing panel pushing it up against
the fuselage. Grab the tube on the opposite side and push,
with a twisting motion, inward to make sure it is bottomed
keeping the wing panel against the fuselage.

Check and make sure the pins are glued securely in place.
3. Locate the wing retainer hard point on the top of the wing.
It is located on the centerline of the spar, 10” out from the
wing root. Using a #36 drill bit, drill through the hard point
and one side of the aluminum spar. Now tap the hole and the
aluminum spar with a 6-32 tap. Counterbore the hole with a
¼” drill bit to recess the screw head flush with the wing
surface.
4. Now do the other side. Note: When removing the wing,
remove the screw from one side only and leave the spar
fastened in one wing panel. If both screws are removed, it will
be extremely hard to find the hales in the spar again when
trying to insert the locking screws. Do not make this mistake.
A small piece of transparent tape over each screw will hold
them in place.
Balancing the Cap 232Balancing the Cap 232
One of the most important things to do before flying your Cap
is to check the CG (center of gravity). The Cap should balance
1” ahead of the wing spar with the nose tipped down at a 10
degree angle. To accomplish this it may be necessary to
move the batteries forward or aft. If that don’t do it, then you
must add weight. But only as a last resort. Of course, a lot
depends on how big and heavy an engine you install.
Control Surface TravelControl Surface Travel
In order to do the 3D maneuvers it will require a big engine
and lots of control travel. Before you program your radio for
those wild maneuvers, we recommend you set the control
travel as recommended for the first trim flights. Then as you
become more familiar with the Cap’s flight characteristics you
can change the travel to your style of flying..
