    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    No but here's my 150cc yak I still need to complete. It was a beat up old airframe too. I am not happy with the stripes on the stripes on the fuse which I will need to correct and then paint the cowling!

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    Oh and I just picked this 35% cap 232 up over the weekend, so I hope I have enough Parts now to refinish one really nice Cap 232. It's kind of hard to find parts for these as they haven't been produced in a long time.

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    Here is the last Carden I completed. It is a 100cc Extra 330s I picked up a few years ago very beat on. It took a lot of work, but I am pleased with the results. Also if anyone has any input I am always welcome to suggestions, or if anyone wants any more clarification by all means just ask...

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    This brings me up to date on the progress so far. After lots of coats of primer and lots of wet sanding I started to put some color to it. The top part looks pretty good, but the bottom is going to require some more sanding before I am happy with it. I am using Rustoleum in the can as I have...

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    I then took the random orbital sander with 100 grit and sanded cowl down to primer. I then filled any areas with glazing putty and of course it took a couple different tries on the inside to get everything fixed as the cowl was pretty busted up.

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    I had hoped to be able to order a new cowl, but Dennis was out of stock on it. So I knew then I had to fix the one I had. I started by thoroughly cleaning it with hot soapy water, and any kind of detergent I could find to get it clean. I then flaked off as much of the busted paint as I could...

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    The fuse was pretty busted up and it even bent the wing tube. I started on the fuse piecing it back together, outing the cross braces back in, and finally cutting out busted up wood and replacing with new. Again After it's all fixed a little sanding and filler has the fuse looking like new again.

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    So after stripping the covering, I started by fixing the worst wing. Pretty easy to fix, just cut out the old and busted and replace with new foam, sand to shape and glue in with new leading edge. I then went back and sheeted with 1/16th Balsa. I use Gorilla Glue, and after a lot of sanding...

    3D So I have a Carden Fetish.....

    So as the title says I have a Carden fetish. I just love them!!! So with that said I'm going to show you my current 100cc Yak rebuild. It started as a cheap airframe I bought with Carden wing bags really cheap on the return home trip from Toledo this year. Apparently it had gone through a...

    Wanted Carden 100cc Yak Cowling wanted any condition

    I called Carden yesterday and they do not have a replacement cowl for the 100cc Yak I am rebuilding. Anyone have a new one, or slightly used one, or even a busted but fixable one? The one I have is pretty beat up.
