The Aircraft

The CAP10B The London Aerobatic Company is proud to offer the Avions Aerobatic Ltd CAP10B for both displays and aerobatic training.

Arguably the best aerobatic training aircraft in the world, the CAP10B is stressed to +6 and -4.5 'G'. More of a 'pilot's aeroplane' than nosewheel designs, more precise and tolerant of wind than the ancient biplanes, more graceful than the more modern biplanes and more economic than the latest specialist machinery, the CAP10B is a true thoroughbred:

"Rarely, rarely, comest thou, spirit of delight"
were the words (taken from Shelley) that 'Flight International' chose to introduce the CAP10 in its 1978 'Team Test'.

Designed by Auguste Mudry and developed from the Piel Emeraude, the CAP10B demonstrates the French flair for producing classic and smooth aerobatic aircraft. Built of wood, with side-by-side seating and dual controls, the CAP10B entered production in 1971.

G-BXFE, CAP10B No.135, was built in 1981, when it entered service with the French Air Force. It remained with the Armee de l'Air until 1996, undergoing a full factory rebuild, a 'grande visite', in 1995. Imported into the UK during 1996, the aircraft was purchased by its present owners in early 2001.

If more than one aircraft is required for formation flying or a corporate event we can provide additional CAP10s to meet your needs.
