126" Carden Extra
Carden 126" Extra 300

My next competition airframe is a 126" Carden Extra 300. As many of you know the Carden airframes are high quality competiton kits. I was lucky enough to get a slot on the last build Dennis ran in late May and my kit has arrived.

I was even more lucky that I was able to seure a build slot on Cam McCausey's schedule and he is well underway as of middle of June on my build. Cam is a professional builder who has been building Carden kits for sometime. He builds for some top names like Kurt Koelling so I am very lucky to own and fly a custom Cam McCausey airframe.

Thank You Cam

I will be receiving the airframe built up and will have to complete the covering, painting and hardware here in the Team Kennedy Shop. I will review the airframe and cover each step in getting the Extra ready for maiden flight. My goal is to have this airframe trimmed and ready for the 2010 IMAC season.

I am powering the Extra with the Desert Aircraft (DA) 170 running MTW R3 tuned pipes. I am breaking in the 170 this summer on the Jtec Extra prior to installing in the Carden airframe.
