    New Pilot for my Carden Pro 124

    Picked up a new ride from a friend of mine for the 2018 season. A nice Carden Pro 124. He was running a 200, but I pulled my DA 170, pipes and all the gear outta my old Raven (which has a new owner) for this Carden. I retired Capt Jack (he's too big!) and got a G force pilot for this plane...

    This was my first giant scale (actually my 2nd as I crashed my first one of these on its 2nd flight...duh). Bought her in '08 and flew it for four years. Got my feet wet in IMAC with it. Great flying plane....but sadly strained her thru some trees :mad:. Anyway....I hung on to all the...

    Biela 24x12 3-blade

    Not mine or anyone I know but this looks like a good deal for this prop. I do know the 26x12 works well on a DA120 so this should be perfect on a 100.

    We're not the ONLY ones who throw props!!!

    Here's a neat video (of dubious quality) of an old friend Kirk Wicker, flying his Cap-21 at the College Park, MD airshow back in the day. One thing you'll notice is how under-powered this plane is, even though it was a world caliber level aerobatic mount back then (I think this was in the...

    How About a Scratch Built category under Build Threads?

    Bart & Sleepy....this suggestion came up. Seems to make sense to separate the ARF build from the true scratch builders? Dave, Roger, Terry, Tseres would fit there....maybe others? Food for thought :)
