Default My new Carden 35% 260

Been building this one since the beginning of the year and flew her for the first time on Thursday!since then ive but 9 flights on her and totally loving it!I built this one light(24.1lbs)(10.2 KG's) with the intention to use a DA85 but opted for the 100 instead Iam running only one Hitec 7955 per aileron ran carbon toe 'zig zaged' down each side of the aileron's to stiffen them up!installed over sized servo supports and installed a spar extender to strengthen up the wing!I also vac baged the wings thus reducing the epoxy weight and better adhesion, removed abt 1/2 kg of ply from the motor box and saved weight on spruce selection

all in all a super light weight 3D machine
