Default Carden Extra 330

Ok so I have decided to finish my Carden 330. Its at the stage where I need to mount the cowl, Fin and finish the wings and the stabs etc...

I cant find the assembly manual and I am in need of it to finish. I am not the first owner of this kit either. I bought it about 2 years ago. Does someone out there have one that they wouldent mind scanning or copying and sending to me? I wuold like to have it to finish the model.

Thanks in advance.

If I were you, I would call up Dennis and talk to him about it. He might even be able to give you some dimensions over there phone! The plans I have, I'm using on my new plane but from the looks of it the cowl is only 1/16th of an ince away from the sides of the fuse. As far as the fins I have no idea. Call him up, he'll probably help you out.

No manuals. Maybe this advice will help you. It would do you good to talk to builders in your area to get their help. Another approach is to take a camera to your field and take pictures of any Cardens around to get an idea of how cowls are set up etc. I am not a builder but have the convenience of seeing how two of the best builders around, Jerry Worth and Walt Bieke, build their Cardens.

Ok so I just need to look at the plans and figure it out? I have built 40% aeroworks kits but there is pretty much a step by step narrative that goes with the building process. From what it sounds like carden kits dont have that then?
