Great Planes CAP 232 1.60 ARF - GPMA1410 - Manual (Page 4)

The recommended engine size range for the CAP 232 ARF is
specified on the cover of this manual. All engines within the
specified range will power this model well. At no time should an
engine outside the recommended range be used to fly the
CAP 232 because it has not been tested for such use.
Powered by a two-stroke glow engine such as the O.S.
® MAX
1.60 FX, the CAP 232 performs all aerobatic maneuvers with
authority. If flying the CAP 232 with a spark-ignition gas engine
is your preference, we recommend the Fuji-Imvac
™ Engines
43cc Gasoline Engine (FJIG0143) for optimal performance.
If you haven’t yet built a model with a gas engine, but are
considering using one, two of the benefits are fuel economy
(not only is gasoline cheaper than glow fuel, but gas engines
typically burn less fuel as well) and a considerably cleaner
exhaust residue. Most gas engines, however, are heavier
than glow engines and require premixing gas and oil.
Here are the order numbers for O.S. MAX
and Fuji-Imvac engines:
O.S. 1.60 FX ringed with muffler (OSMG0660)
O.S. 1.60 FX ringed without muffler (OSMG0661)
#5010 muffler for O.S. 1.60 FX engine (OSMG2846)
Fuji-Imvac BT-43EI R/C gas engine (FJIG0143)
Per the IMAA Safety Code, magneto spark-ignition engines
must have a coil-grounding switch on the aircraft to stop the
engine and prevent accidental starting. The switch must be
operated manually (without the use of the transmitter) and
be accessible by the pilot and assistant.
The fuel tank included with this kit is suitable for use with glow
fuel. However, if using a gas engine, the fuel tank must be
converted to work with gasoline.This can be done by purchasing
a Sullivan #484 Gasoline/Diesel fuel tank conversion kit
(SULQ2684), a package of Du-Bro #813 1/8" [3.2 mm] I.D. fuel
line barbs (DUBQ0670) and 3' of Great Planes gasoline fuel
tubing (GPMQ4135). Without the fuel line barbs, some types of
gas-compatible fuel line may slip off the metal fuel tubes. If the
Sullivan conversion kit is not available, the Du-Bro #400 gas
conversion stopper (DUBQ0675) and one 12" [300 mm] piece of
K+S 1/8" [3.2 mm] soft brass tubing (K+SR5128-box of 5) could
also be used to make the conversion.
