RE: New Carden Yak.
Hey guys I just stole the Pic off Carden's web page.
It dosn't look like Carden will be selling too many 260s.
Walt build me one.

RE: New Carden Yak.
Does anybody here think the yaks rudder and the extras rudder are the same? The full scale yak rudder has a drop as it goes forward. Otherwise, looks nice.

Franks Plane,
Finishing it up now installing the guts
Hope to have it in the air within couple weeks. Depending on the weather
Also making couple changes, repainting the canopy stripes in Orange and getting the graphics package cut so it shouldn't be long till we get a flight review from Frank.

RE: New Carden Yak.
I was hoping someone would notice how ugly the scale wheel pants look. Maybe the full scale guys will 'fix' theirs!
Cool looking bird.

Hey T.Bob - Why won't Carden be selling too many 260s... no demand or very limited run?? Personally, I think that plane has huge potential ..

RE: New Carden Yak.
$1200 just for the kit, then you need to have a professional build and cover it. For the same money I can get a CA 3.3 Yak and build it myself in a week.

Why do you need a pro build?? Build it yourself!

ok, went to their site and checked it out, no weight listed (no suprise) but noticed its a fair bit smaller bird than my yak is. It looks nice though
Like to see one up close in the future.

RE: New Carden Yak.
BAH! You guys who claim Cardens are a hard build are just bein wussies!
(OK...gonna go duck and hide now!)
Seriously...are they really much more complicated than a Kadet Senior trainer? They're just a truss structure built from balsa sticks.....there's nothing hard or really even time consuming about the build. (OK...maybe sheeting foam takes some time....but even then the time is spent just waiting for the glue to dry!)
Oh well...everyone likes what they like. Personally...I like lotsa little sticks!

RE: New Carden Yak.
I disagree that Carden's are an easy build, I've built 2, working on my 3rd and I'd say that u have to be a very skilled builder to get it right. When u build aircraft of this type on a regular basis, u forget how much skill is involved because it's second nature to u.
U need all the right equipment, including but not limited to the spray guns and paint equip. work benches that are straight and can support the weight needed to sheet the foam parts, the skills to align everthing and the equip. to do so accurately.
Most people are not set up like this, and certainly would not invest in this type of equipment to build one plane.
I've seen a couple of Carden's that were really botched, u don't see it often cause most people investing that kind of money either have the skills and equip. or the smarts to have a pro build it.
