    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    Hope everyone had a great weekend, so after all my house work and family time, I manage to get some work done on the PRO, I decided to use 3M epoxy on the wing and stab sockets, I figure why rush it. (Do it once do it right!!!!!) Since I spent so much time setting up the fuse sides in place I...

    Hello Jason, Thanks, and I customized them myself, they are very easy to cut. So for the first time since I got the kit, I did not work on it last night, a little bummed about that but I will make up for it this weekend. Looks like a rainy weekend here although I would not mind going out and...

    I jumped the gun just a bit, just a few pics of the engine box set up on the table. It just so happens that the long 90 degree angle bar is exactly 1/8 thick so I used this for my offset since it does not have the 1/8 balsa sheet glued on it yet.

    Well, I did not get to glue the socket supports on, it was more like, how do I go about doing this without screwing something up. So, as you will see on the first picture the plans show an angle between F2 and the LE of the fuse sides, I want to get this done before gluing the stab and wing...

    LOL!!! I tell ya, I was kinda skeptical about building again, but I'm so glad I am, loving every minute of it. I have been kidding around with Wayne Mathews, He named his Dalton THE BITCH, mine will be EL CHUPACABRA. I'll be out working on it soon. I plant to locate and glue the wing and stab...

    Well, I had a late start on it last night, but I manage to get a few things done. I could not help myself; I had to position the fuse sides for a picture.

    Hello all, now that I have the two fuse sides almost completed I went back to the engine box to install the F2 formers, while I had that to the side, I worked on the hard points where the canopy bolts on the fuse. I am so pumped to work on it every night, I’m enjoying every minute of it. Hey...

    Here is a picture of both sides together; they came out identically to each other, all the vertical trusses line up perfectly. It was very simple; I put a piece of wax paper on top of the first side to keep from gluing them together.

    After checking it for a half hour, it was time to start building and gluing the vertical trusses to the top and bottom longerons. Nothing greatly special here, I just making sure the vertical trusses are perfectly square before applying glue.

    This picture shows how I checked the straightness of the angle bar.

    And now to the fuse sides, my first step was to protect the plans with wax paper, from here I took my time to ensure the aluminum angle was perfectly straight with the plans. Now to glue two pieces of 3/8 square to make one long longeron.
