Oh don't tempt him. Haha. I've seen him drive farther for delta power tools.
I agree with you, just shows how much more crazy I am from yoU!!
It really is a sickness, and I have never even flown a Carden. I am doing this purely based on what my friends say. Most people I talk to, who have Cardens, will tell me: "No other airplane flies as well as a Carden"!
Ok, today, I am on the 4th wing, bagging it. In the morning, I will sand it smooth on the edges.
Then off to bag all the other foam parts:
stabs, fin, turtle deck, hatch, rear and front belly pan.
the balsa sheet skins are also ready!

ok, so far, the 4 wings are sheeted, the 2 canopy decks are sheeted, and now I am working on the fins/rudder.
Just wanted to demonstrate, and I forgot to take an after the spread picture, but here is for the hatch deck.
I used 3/4 ounce of epoxy resin (West System), and then squeegeed the remainder off. Forgive me, I forgot to take a picture, since I moved on to next step.
the red coloring is from ACP, it is an Epoxy resin dye.
