help Mudry CAP 230 FAQ
How is the CAP 230 related to the CAP 21?
Mudry developed the CAP 230 during the 1980s using experience from the CAP 21 line and French unlimited-aerobatic competition. It remained a single-seat machine designed for demanding figures rather than routine touring.
What was the CAP 230 designed to do in competition?
It was built for unlimited aerobatics, where pilots perform snaps, spins, vertical maneuvers, and rapid attitude changes. Its compact airframe and powerful controls placed it in the same specialist arena as contemporary Extra and Sukhoi designs.
Is the Mudry CAP 230 the same aircraft as the CAP 231?
No. The CAP 231 was a later development of the French CAP competition family, incorporating further aerodynamic changes for international unlimited flying.
Can the CAP 230 carry an instructor or passenger?
No, the CAP 230 is a single-seat aircraft. Training therefore has to take place in a two-seat aerobatic type before a pilot transitions to it.
