Wow, I finally finished covering my Harley Davidson CUDA. I didn't think I would ever get it done. I was doing a build thread of this plane but it's been awhile since I posted to it. Of course it's raining today and I couldn't take it outside for a photo shoot so I put it together in our family room and did the best I could. I still have the final assembly to do put I was anxious to take some photos, so the switches are missing, not all the nuts and botls are in etc. I usually don't get too excited about the finish of my planes but I think this turned out pretty cool....of course it's a Harley Carden..how could it not be cool??
I'll post some better pictures when I can get it outside.
It may need a few more graphics on her, not too sure yet. Hope everyone likes it.

Steve

Is that an oil stain on the floor under the engine?


Sorry, couldn't help myself. I ride an FJR.


Nice finish!

It looks like it'll be nice on Saturday down your way. Good day to take some pictures and test fly it!



Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 54.

finally got it outside on a nice day for a few pictures.

Caroline added a bunch of pictures of it on Carden's website, and I thank her for that. It's always nice to get a few minutes of fame..if you can call it that.

Hey everyone, Have a happy and safe holiday. Hopefully Santa leaves a few Carden's under your tree.

Steve
