Canopy is painted and back on the airplane. Also have rudder RE hinged with robarts.

My buddy has my landing gear to media blast it. I keep chugging along little by little.

i love a good RC recovery effort! it warms my heart. :love:

Mine too. Truth is I'm a mediocre pilot at best I'll never be all that great so having the latest greatest just won't help me much :). So I'd rather fly something I built or rebuilt and just have fun with it. I do this for fun and bringing dead Cardens back to life is something I enjoy.

This airplane came with wheel pants that are a little busted. I haven't ever had spats on a plane so after looking at pictures of the real ones I decided I'd try and make my own. I used some scrap 1/8 ply and scrap 3/8 balsa.

I think I'm going to just cover these with ultracote? I realize they aren't covered yet but weigh just less than 1 oz each. The Carden wheel pants are 2.5 oz each. So I'll save 3 oz here by making these spats.
