I'm installing KS canisters on mine. You can see the pics on the website I've got the headers already, but I'm still waiting for the cans. Hopefully they'll show up in another 1-2 weeks.

I decided to go with cans because I wanted to try to keep the noise down. I also just love the sound of a twin on cans....plus they just look cool!

I'm looking forward to seeing more pics of your build....keep 'em comin!

Jason

Status: offline 		HI Scott's Dad!! You're more than welcome to come check it out anytime. I'm hoping to have it ready to cover in a couple more weeks....I can't wait to get it in the air!
I just put the whole thing together for the first time last night and got really pumped up about getting it finished. Still a lot of work to do yet, but it's really been a fun build.

It's been long enough since I built a plane from a kit that i forgot how satisfying it is to see something I built from a pile of sticks sitting on my workbench. While all the ARF's are nice, i just get way to picky on a project this size and decided I was better off building it myself. Then if it's screwed up, I can only blame myself!

Status: offline 		I am buiding a Carden 35% extra 330 also, I have it built to about the same stage as yours. I will post some pics later today. I am using a DA-100, MTW canisters and Headers from DA. The exhaust system is really nice , I just got it and it included everything I needed to install it. The canisters have the inlets and the 90 Degree exits on the same end (frt) of the canister. I am installing it now as well as mounting the cowl.Good to see someone else building the same kit at the same time, thanks for the great pics, Jack.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the comments George. Post some pics of your build...I love to see how others build the same kit.

I made some decent progress over the weekend. Got the elevators separated and hinged, the fin fairings on and filled, and painted the cockpit area. Today I want to get the bottom rear hatch sanded and sheeted...and that should just about wrap up the tail of the plane.

More pics can be found at http://www.flagcityflyers.com/CardenExtra.htm

I am building the same airframe, but installing a Jetcat Turbo Prop. There are pics in the Jet forum under "Jetcat Turbo Prop"

I use to fly with the "Spirit of America" show team based in Findlay.

Best regards,
Ron Ballard

Status: offline 		I'll second that.....the tubro-prop install looks very cool. When you get that completed, you should swing by the Findlay club again and put on a little show for us.

Lookin good Jack. Do you have any more pictures of your cowl instal? I'm just now starting to think about this step and I'm having a bit of trouble visualizing it. I'm most curious about how the top half fits to the bottom. I understand the screws through the side...but having trouble visualizing how the L-brackets for the top half play into the whole setup.

Status: offline 		JMiracle- here are some pics of the cowl mounting , I installed my upper cowl brackets opposite the plan,so that I could use a long allen wrench the I made up, to remove the bolt through the frt opening. This allows you to remove the top of the cowl without taking the canopy off. The plywood cowl pieces get glassed into the cowl, tack glue them with ca, remove and then glass it in. I didn't tack glue mine yet, remember to leave a 1/16 gap between the cowl and the fuse. The lower
