Oh my, I'm sorry I asked. I don't know what it would be like to have something like that happen to me.. . . .

You're making great progress on your two Carden's Cam. Keep up the great work. . . . . .

made it back from the last IMAC contest of the year. It was in Kansas, which, was a beautiful drive and a real beautiful club. Wish I could have taken pictures, but my iPhone 6 reached 2 years and stopped working well. I just started to get back on the build.

I cut the rear of the plastic of the canopy..

and I am gluing on the back of the hatch deck with 1/2" balsa.

More hatch work.

Cam where do you get the gauges to build your instrument panel , yours is very details and would like to create one for my Extra 35%.

Which glue are you using to fasten the plastic to the balasa ?
I have to fasten mine to the monokote covering , Thanks

Hello Rusty, those panels are sold by Carden.


http://www.carden-aircraft.com

only 55 dollars for the 3 D Instrument panel.


I am using GOOP to fix the plastic canopy to hatch frame. First time using it for this. In the past , I used Canopy Glue, but I find the GOOP works so much better. I am sold on GOOP now. Dean Nistetter told me about it.
Thank you Dean!
