    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    I have 28 flights and 6.4 hrs on my PRO! I have the trimming out done! Last weekend we adjusted my throttle curve. The curve makes me feel very comfortable flying the PRO. Makes throttle control much easier than it was!! In fact, my flying buddies liked my throttle curve so well that did...

    Cam, here is pic from Dean's build thread that shows the half-round gussets: It's a simple thingy that hold three to six pieces together very nicely!!

    Cam, I think those gussets are a laminate of carbon fiber and balsa - n0t just painted black balsa.

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    The front piece that I mentioned is the piece at the front where the fuse sides are glued to (I hate to end a sentence with a preposition) because after you glue on the 1/4" balsa it's hard to see where the blind nut goes. The way the cowl formers are cut there is just barely enough room for...

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    One other thing that I ran into while building my PRO. The "wings" from the fuse box out to the fuse sides where the blind nuts go for the cowl - I should have made new ply cowl rings so that the holes for the bolt holss were in better alignment with solid ply. I had to add some ply behind...

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    10-4! Thanks Cam!! BTW, those gussets are not exactly what I used. The ones that I use were originated by a fellow out in Ft. Worth. They are half-round with a 3/8" square cut out. The cut out allows the gusset to cover the upright and all three cross members (or two) at the same time! I...

    Great build Cam, you make it look easy!!! One question though is just exactly HOW did you make those donuts?

    Name this ARESTI figure

    Cam, that looks like an old figure from years back. The nomenclature of Aresti changed several years ago! The figure is a Bow Tie - starting from inverted pull to a 45 downline, do 2pts of a 4pt roll, pull to verticle, pull to a 45 downline then do 4pts of an 8pt roll, pull to level, exit...

    Hey Primo, you promised to make me one of your centering devices when you finished your PRO.

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    Ho ho ho - that's a really good one Cam!! On which glue to use - most of the Carden buiilders use thin CA which I used too. The fit is very tight so thin CA works great.

    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    Way to go on your maiden Primo! If yours flies as well as mine then you have a very fine airplane!! I have a DA 170 on mine and it will go ballistic if I don't highly manage the throttle! The only real modification from the plans that I did was to use half-moon "corner" braces on all joints...

    Installation of hard points balsa sheeted foam surfaces... More than one way to skin a cat.

    IMAC Build: Dalton Extra 300

    Ben, I used a 1.5L Fiji water bottle for a fuel tank and it fits fine except for the front part of the tank tray. I had to sand the front of the tray to get the bottle neck to fit. Here is a photo of the inside on my Dalton.
