Default I'm thinking of building a Carden 35%....

but I have limited building experience (3 40 size planes) and better yet, limited room (tight 1 car garage). How difficult are the Carden Edges to build? I've never sheeted a foam wing before. I'd like info from those who have built them, if they'd suggest a semi rookie to build one.

Thanks,

MIke.

They go together very nice, and are a top quality kit..

Just take your time and you will do just fine

There's a great article on wing sheeting in the latest Model Aviation.

My first large scale build was a Carden 35% cap. Everything went well, and the plane was a great flyer. Dennis Gergits (Carden owner) is very helpful. If you have built some smaller planes you should be fine. Sheeting foam with balsa may be a new technique for you, but not all that difficult. There is lot's of online information on this.
