30% Carden Cap Construction Pics
Here are a few pics of my winter project. Carbon landing gear, wing tube and tail gear. 5945's all the way around. 2 on the rudder in an SWB pull pull offset tray. Hoping for < 19lb. 3w-75us for power.

That looks sweet Jess..... Looks like you've put a lot of work into it.... I'd like to see how they engineered the whole wing tube thing.... I wasn't very happy with the way my SuDoKhoi 60 was engineered...

Can you tell me how you cut the hole in the balsa sheeting for the wing tube. I'm building a 35% Carden Edge and I'm trying to figure out the best way to make a clean cut.

weight
I haven't got an accurate scale.
On the bathroom job it weighs in at 20.5lbs, that's with a KS cannister slung under the belly. The cannister probably adds close to a #.
My flying field is very noise sensitive and with the 3-blade Mejzlik and KS cannister the plane is whisper quiet.

Holes
rthorne,
My hole was pre-drilled on the Cap kit. The fuse sides are 90 degrees to the wing-tube.
As I understand the edge, the fuse angles and are not 90 degrees.
I did, however cut lightening holes in some balsa sheets with a dry wall hole cutter in the drill press. Just back up the balsa with ply wood so the balsa does not splinter. Then sand. Works great.
