    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    Hello stinger, So, what I did to start out with was to measure one of the cans where it has that higher step. 75mm or 2.95’’. Out of the 12x12 by 1mm thick carbon sheet I cut out four, 4x4.5 pieces. (McMaster Car #818K12). You can see from the picture that the cutout is off center, this was to...

    OK. I'll put some more info on that. Here are the pictures of the stabs marked and the servo box location. On the stabs I will have to adjust the height of the box. I used a dremel to cut the foam out. I like this better than the ones I used on the 118, I like that I have a frame wich will be...

    More pictures of the wing spar, before and after cutting it. I also started marking the ailerons so I know where to install the servo boxes. Kevin at Jtec hooked me up with some great servo boxes. Thanks Jerry for the design and Kevin and Al for cutting them for me, fast delivery, these guys...

    So I have been slowly working on the wings socket supports and top and bottom spars, since I’m using Gorilla glue I had to get a bit creative on how to glue in the socket supports. The instructions tell you to glue the socket and the support at the same time and then later to cut the socket...

    OK, so now back to sheeting, I started out some small pieces to get my courage up and a somewhat a pattern, very quickly the Gorilla glue lets you know how fast is starts to set, so you better have a plan. I started out with the top front hatch, as you can see all the foam has a layer of...

    So I'm jumping back a forth a bit just to keep working on it. I have both stabs sockets glued in and I'm waiting on some servo bay doors from Jtec. I will be mounting the servos inside the wings and stabs. So in the meantime I worked on the can mounts. I used 3/32 carbon fiber sheet to make two...

    Ok guys more reading material, I got the stab tube sockets glued in, very simple step, just cap the end of the tube mark it cut it with some extra past the root end so it can be sanded flush. So while I had that drying in place I mounted the engine, it was like a glove, so glad I used the mill...

    Well back from Nall, and ready to continue building. Just working on the sheeting. I want to do all the edge gluing before I start vacuum bagging. So lots of boring pictures coming up. LOL. Here is what a Naked Carden looks like.
