description Mudry CAP 10B Overview
The Mudry CAP 10B is a French, two-seat aerobatic trainer aircraft developed from the original CAP 10, which first flew in 1968. Produced by Avions Mudry, this low-wing monoplane features a wooden wing structure and a steel-tube fuselage covered with fabric. The 'B' variant is distinguished by a redesigned, larger rudder that improves yaw control and spin recovery during complex aerobatic maneuvers. It is widely used by aerobatic clubs and military training programs to teach intermediate and advanced aerial techniques.
