Status: offline 		Carden does not make a 35% Extra 300 Mid Wing airplane kit. Dennis sent me a 35% Extra 330 fuse with Extra 260 wings, motor box and landing gear. This will be my attempt to construct a 35% Extra 300 mid wing. Also I will be installing KS-1060 tuned pipes. First of all I had to mark on the plans the Extra 260 mid wing tube locations. I will be using the identical stab to wing center line offset as the Extra 260.

I have built the Carden 32% Yak 54 and the 35% Extra 260. I have saved 14oz of weight so far by cutting lightening cut-outs in the plywood parts.

I like to install the wing tube sockets with Gorilla glue. Make sure you tape off any openings so when the glue foams and expands it does not get on the wing core surfaces.

I've been thinking about asking Carden if they would do that, you're one step ahead of me! I prefer the looks and longer moment arms for precision flight. Assme kit price same as standard 35%er? Looking forward to watching your progress on this!

Status: offline 		Good luck with your project but you might have made a little less work for yourself if you bought a 260 kit and a 330 turtledeck and canopy. Either way..very cool and good luck.

Status: offline 		Two questions:
-How about just raising the wings on the 300 to "midwing"...woudn't that work?

-What's the difference between the 300 & 260 wings?
