Title: Cardinette Plans
Post by: Bob Hills on September 03, 2007, 04:56:50 AM

  Are full size plans available and from who?  It was in the C/L world magazine for July.

I would say contact Brodaks.

Correct - John has the plans available.

I did the complete set in AutoCAD but I DID NOT incorporate the take-apart feature.

The plane is a great little stunter and in the proper hands should do quite well in competition.

I've flown it with the Brodak .25 and the OS Surpass .26 - worked very well with both.

Very easy to build - I had the original prototype ready to cover in less than one week.

Title: Cardinette Plans and more flying - I REALLY like this little plane
Post by: Bob Zambelli on September 24, 2007, 09:22:11 AM

I had the chance to fly the prototype Cardinette some more and all I can say is that it just gets better every flight.  #^ #^ #^

I flew it yesterday with the Surpass .26 and it was great.  y1

It was very windy/gusty and there was never an issue with line tension or penetration. Even the windup was minimal.

If you have a strong .25, a Surpass .26 or, for super power, a SAITO .30, I would strongly recommend this plane.

There was recently some talk about going to smaller stunt planes - the Cardinette may well pave the way.

I will gladly offer assistance to anyone building one but since it is so straightforward, I doubt that any would be required - HAVE FUN!!
