The CAP 232 is designed by Auguste Mudry. After Mudry’s bankruptcy in 1996, Akrotech Europe took over the CAP series in May 1997, and in January 1999 changed name to CAP Aviation. The CAP 232 is a single-seat monoplane constructed entirely of timber and is distinguishable by its low wing and rakish vertical fin and rudder.
