WAC 2009 Eric Vazeille and Gerald Cooper in CAP 232

The two pilots, Eric Vazeille and Gerry Cooper shared the CAP 232 for the World Aerobatic Championships 2009, held in Silverstone. We put some mini cameras inside the aircraft and it seems we did well! Watch some other cockpit views from WAC here http://www.airsports.tv/index.asp?bcpid=4552242001&bclid=1321242208

@zvent1 Many pilots still fly the Mudry Cap aircraft in high level competition. Some even fly them at the WAC. The major change in recent years was that the French national team moved to the Extra 330 series aircraft in 2009 and no longer flies the CAP. British team members were still flying Cap variants as was Debby Rihn-Harvey (USA) at that point.

The control authority of the CAP looks to be unmatched by any aircraft I have seen fly yet.
