Well, it took some time, but it's finished up and now sitting in the shop of BDUB...
This is the Carden 330s, with the new Lasercut/lightened internals... Last edited by LJJ; 05-21-2007 at 12:05 PM. |

WOW - that looks great! Is that Monokote or Ultracote. Wish I could cover like that.
Any pics of the build? |

Levi,
I'm more than impressed. Whose hands is it now in? The paint scheme is better on the model than the full scale. |

Thanks guys....
It was actually a very good chalange trying to get it to work out on this airframe... the CAP232 is significantly different with the low wing and the stab infront of the vertical fin. Made getting the graphics to flow a bit tough. I'm happy with the results... Paint on the hatch and cowl needs cutting and polishing still... It's at Brians shop now. He's looking at flying this next long weekend. |

Is the laser cutting something new Carden will be doing or is someone else doing the laser cutting?

Long story short... Carden is responsible for the new parts, but still in prototype faze. This 330 has the parts in it as a test bed for Dennis. It will be flown for as long as Dennis decides is needed. Carden showed this box at the Toledo show as a future product, but obviously it is his decision on when, where, and how much...
My part in it is the Cad/Design side and building. The cutouts are obviously similar to what Walt and Brian H. have been doing for years. Both of these guys got some good looks at the box in Toledo and their suggestions were incorporated into it... really a community effort. My suggestion would be to talk to Dennis on the specific details and his plans…. He also might want to know how many to cut ![]() |
