Carden 260 Built by Tom Mikalauskas - Page 3

Craig is right. The 260 tends to come out more nose heavy than the Edge and putting he rudder servos in the back of the fuse helps balancing. The Edge comes in a more tail heavy and using pull-pull helps balancing. If you want to put the servos in the tail on he Edge you have to make sure the early building takes account of that. It might help talking to one of the Edge builders or Carden.

Not only does Tom build nice, but he is a HELL of a friend as well!!! Tom not only has built my past 2 35%'s, but is there if you need any help too!!!

Tom is very local to me, and I was at his place when he was finishing up Positive's 260. Been there while he was building King's YAK, and among countless other birds.

I gotta agree here, cans are for wimps!! Make as much noise as humanly possible!!!!

Nah, cans rock. Mufflers are for lazy guys that dont want to install two holders. No need to make all that noise,not to mention, its far more neighbor friendly. My car is loud, my motorcycle is loud, my airplane is quiet, just how I like it. Mufflers suck. No reason to be loud anymore, as demonstrated at the Don Lowe Masters 06.'

Dont give in to all the Swan-abees!!!! Do it right and put cans in that beast, why ruin a good airplane?!?!?!? You can still run a two blade and make some noise!!!!

The scheme is based on a scheme I saw on Buddy Hale's 35% Extra 330. I am basically changing the purple out with pearl blue

**TheTank** · 12-03-2006, 08:01 PM

Another one?!?!? Its not the blue and white one that did all up last year is it?
I havent recieved the Dalton yet, Tony is doing all the foam for me including taking the wings until that are 95% complete along with finishing the fin and rudder, so it will be a couple weeks yet. Then, I just have to build the fuse, cut the elevators and finish them, mount em, and cover.

Craig, that thing is sharp! I can't believe some of the planes that are being built and shown here on the Giants lately. Love the scheme.
