THE AIRCRAFT

Meet CAP 4 Paulistinha

The Paulistinha belongs to the history of Brazilian flying clubs and basic aviation training. Its braced high wing, enclosed tandem cabin and tailwheel undercarriage follow the practical light-aircraft pattern of the period.

The CAP-4 name identifies a particular development within that history. In a catalogue full of large jets and elaborate glass cockpits, it offers a different scale of aircraft: a compact trainer whose structure and controls are comparatively easy to understand from the cockpit and exterior.
