3D JAG's 35% Carden Edge

[JAG]

I picked up a well used 35% Carden Edge. This is my first Giant Scale plane. I'm very excited to get this plane in the air. And will probably need some help along the way. I don't care for the covering much but I've decided to fly it for now and re-cover it later. Here are a few pics.

The plane is in pretty good shape. The canopy has a few cracks so I'm going to pick up another as a spare. One of the elevator servo hard points and screw is slightly bent, but it is tight. And some paint on the cowl has chipped off.

Check out this lead I removed. That's a lot of weight. Hoping I don't have to put that back in.

that's a beautiful airplane! what engine are you planning to put in and do you know what it had in it? that might help you to know what's going to happen with all of that lead.

It had a DA100 in it. I'm putting a DLE111 in it.

I need a spacer for my engine so mu buddy @capthis made this spacer with built in thrust.

 

[JAG]

Here is a test fit with the spacer. I think I'm going to add another 1/16" shim just to be on the safe side.

Here is the spinner I picked up. ut. It's a 4.5" Dave Brown Ultimate. I Got it used but it's un cut. So I'll have to drill the back plate and cut out for the prop.
