This beautiful CAP 232 after just nine hours was completely overhauled in 2001 with many improvements to produce probably the best 232 ever built. The French engineer / unlimited level pilot had the overhaul carried out so that the aircraft was the lightest and most competitive aircraft possible.
It was fitted with many certified modifications in preparation for the free program and international aerobatics championships with the French National Team. The emphasis was on high power to weight ratio and so, along with the extensive weight saving measures the engine was modified to produce 340 HP. In addition there were mods to the engine to enable resilience to gyroscopic figures - this being an extra crankshaft bearing.
