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.
