Default Re: How much room do I need?

I built a 40% Carden 330 in my 1 bedroom apartment. It is not the best way to build or live but it got the job done.

I got a 8 foot long folding table and used that to build the fuse and do all the sanding and finishing. I sheeted all the balsa with cinder blocks and set them on the tile floor in my kitchen.

All the paint work was done in a budys drive way.

Now that I am back living in a 1 bedroom apartment I am building a 40% Carden 300. So far I have been using a buddies garage to vacuum bag all the foam pieces. But I have another 8 ft table to frame up the fuselage.

The nice thing about this apartment is that it has a really big balcony to sand/drill and do all the messy work outside. Anyone who was ever built a Carden knows that there is a lot of sanding and that this gets very messy.

Get yourself a good shop vac and some plastic (to cover up what you don't want to get dirty) and you will be good to go!

Good Luck
