40% Carden Aircraft

40%, huh?

I guess I need to get busy with some coroplast

Hodges sell something like this. It is all depron, easy to repair with hotglue or packing tape.

Of course you will need to paint it (if you want)

Those look like they could work..

rcproptester · Mar 15, 2008, 10:37 PM

they do work.... well... They will take an amazing amount of abuse and still fly. I have finished combat with mine missing most of one wing...

kave_man · Mar 15, 2008, 10:40 PM

That is what I have also. They work well.

How much are they?

Looks like fun! What kinda power do they run on? We need some specs!

rcproptester · Mar 15, 2008, 10:44 PM

Mac sells them for $25. We have been using the cheap esskay 400Xt motors on them with 10a esc and 3 cell 1320 (or so). They come set up for elevon controls, but most of us add a servo and cut a rudder into them for elevon / rudder control. It adds a little more manuverability to them to do that.

Tram · Mar 15, 2008, 10:48 PM

You bringin' one to SEFF?

You have an specs? I wonder if I could cut one out before we got there...

Dude, you shouldn't even need to ask that question

I can measure mine if you want me to.

Tram · Mar 15, 2008, 10:54 PM

Yeh man, shoot me some measurements.. I'll build one or two to bring to SEFF... I'll probably throw one of these in the nose: http://www.commonsenserc.com/product...roducts_id=300

You have any side shots? So I can get an idea of what I need to build?

Cool, it's a backwards depron superfly :P

I can do that!! Need to find the esskay, or just drop on the JGF 400xt! Mucho cheap servos and a couple of smallish ESCs sitting around. I am in there!!!

Diggs

I would take some measurements on that also. I have plenty of depron waiting to be used!

Tram · Mar 15, 2008, 10:56 PM

Sounds like we will have at least 3 of them..
