How much room do I need?

Hey guys, I live in an apartment for now and my question is has anyone built a Carden 32% Yak or a 35% Extra in a small area such as this? I know it sounds silly but I used to build my 25% planes when I lived in a condo. I know that I could get someone to build it but I really don't want to spend all that money on that part of the plane, I'm just kind'a tired of arf's for now.

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

Thanks we are just ready to move to a 3 bedroom townhome (no garage) but it does have a 12x12 deck off the dining room. The downstairs has all tile floors which would be great to sheet the cores on with the weight. I guess I'm good to go
