My bad 1300lbs empty 30Mike Goulian performs and competes in the CAP 232, the world's premiere aerobatic aircraft. Produced by CAP Unlimited of Dijon, France, the 232 is considered the best aerobatic aircraft in the world. The CAP 232 is “the aircraft of choice” for the world's best competition aerobatic pilots. The CAP series aircraft have been flown by three of the last four World Aerobatic Champions.

The Cap 232 is most impressive when the airspeed drops below 100 miles per hour. “When similar aircraft are out of energy, CAP is at its best!” says pilot Michael Goulian. The CAP 232 tumbles at incredibly slow speeds which gives Goulian the freedom to use his imagination to create a show to that is second to none!

Empty weight: 1,300 lb.
Engine: 300 horsepower six cylinder Lycoming IO-540
Construction: Wood fuselage, carbon fiber wings.
Speeds: Top speed, 250 mph - stall speed, 60 mph
Roll rate: 420 degrees per second
G limits: plus and minus 10 G's
0 HP

For whatever it's worth, cursing by the Mother of God is extremely offensive to any number of people.
