    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Thank you for posting those pics! I hadn't ever seen all those airplanes together before! I gotta admit an Extra is my all time favorite design! Guess we hijacked Cam's thread but he did ask for it! :)

    IMAC Dalton Yak 54, 38% please submit suggestions here....

    Wow quick turnaround from DA. I bought a Carden yak a few years ago that the DA 150 broke a crank but it separated in flight taking out the cowling with it.

    IMAC Dalton Yak 54, 38% please submit suggestions here....

    So I guess that motor is going back to DA ? Sorry about the bad luck but I have to ask was the motor running at landing and taxi back?

    SOLD! 40% Carden Extra 330 just add receiver - LPU - Salem, WI

    Nothing in particular but they just aren't my cup of tea. How much for just the airframe and wing bags? Any cracks or damage in the canopy?

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Cam, I don't see how you get so much time in the garage to build? Your wife either loves you or hates you! :) :) As always looking great on the build.

    Wanted Carden 100cc Yak Cowling wanted any condition

    I doubt you'll get that information from Dennis as he wants to sell the company. I ended up fixing my cowl and am ready to recover my airplane, and paint.

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    Landing gear got painted over the weekend. Also spats covered.... Little mock up to make sure everything still lines up.

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    This airplane came with wheel pants that are a little busted. I haven't ever had spats on a plane so after looking at pictures of the real ones I decided I'd try and make my own. I used some scrap 1/8 ply and scrap 3/8 balsa. I think I'm going to just cover these with ultracote? I realize they...

    3D CAP 232-ST design / build / prototype

    I'm sorry to hear that. I enjoy building, and I am fine with scratch building, but making my own cowls, and canopies is not something I'm interested in pursuing at this time. if at some point you finish this design, and offer plans, and the fiberglass and plastic canopy I'm interested. I...

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    Mine too. Truth is I'm a mediocre pilot at best I'll never be all that great so having the latest greatest just won't help me much :). So I'd rather fly something I built or rebuilt and just have fun with it. I do this for fun and bringing dead Cardens back to life is something I enjoy.

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    Canopy is painted and back on the airplane. Also have rudder RE hinged with robarts. My buddy has my landing gear to media blast it. I keep chugging along little by little.

    I love the razor plane. One of my most satisfying tools :)

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    I previously cut the rudder hinges as I couldn't just remove the pins or pull the hinges. I cut them flush and was just going to rehing and use robarts. I couldn't live with the idea the old hinges were still in there so I cut them out and put new wood back in with gorilla glue. When the glue...

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    Been working on the canopy. Tabs were all broke off but otherwise it was in pretty good shape minus the poor pilot inside. Glued tabs back on. Taped and sanded old paint to get new paint to adhere. Cleaned re-taped and finally painted. Gotta wait for this to dry fill a small area wet sand to...
