Default Re: My new CARDEN 300 43%

Yes Cam builds everything very light. I am expecting it to come in less then 40 with 170 and New MTW tuned pipes. Oh ya the pipes showed up frday and they are awsome.... my 40% 300 should weigh less then 36 lbs. with 150 and greeves.
Just got fuse covering finished today and the rudder is glued on. Servo leads are made and rudder servos installed. Stabs and wing this week. Motor is mounted on both 40 and 43 starting pipe mounts on both, gear is mounted and axels and tires. so in short both planes are comming along nicely. I take some pictures tonight,
