Craig,

Let me know when you go racing. I would join you for the race and dinner. Maybe when the weather warms up we could fly, race and then eat.

Tony

Man, I hope you dont mean Bryans Extra, I thought he was putting Cans in that thing... i thought I had converted him from using ****ty loud ass mufflers.

Tony, sounds like a plan.

John, he is still on the fence. I am guessing he will use the cans, but wants to see if he can make mufflers fit without having to hack the cowl.

Rick, I think the Edge may be more prone to being tail heavy. Ask first, it may be better off with pull pull. You will love the Edge! Craig

Here is a Carden 260 Tom did for me a few month ago. He also did the covering.
He has also done a Carden 330 - I can't say enough about his work.

Hey Craig!! Tom did a great job...almost a shame to put covering on it!

Can't wait to see what scheme you come up with...Best Regards!

He says Andre told him to bump our rear ends to get us loose. Oh well, he can't choose his sexuality!

Wayne, thanks. Your build thread put me over the edge to buy another Carden. I have a couple of ideas of schemes in my head, but have not come up with anything final. Winter is closing in fast here, so I will take my time and finish it up this winter.

Craig



Ok this is all out war !!! Guess I'll have to make sure I am always in front of you guys !!! Would not want to be acused of bumping anyones rear !!!! Especially if elie is screaming " i'm leaking" . Just stay away from my virgin A$$ !!! We'll see whos fast !!! This is all you'll be seeing all night ! I have also been taking lessons from Gremlin X he's a real pro !!!!

JB, cans are for Imac flying fools! I want loud and bad ass !! it will be either mufflers or straight pipes !!!!
