I ordered a set from Hobby-Pak. Having them sent to my US address because shipping to Canada is, as usual, ridiculously expensive.

Carolyn doesn't make bags anymore except for a few special people and told me that I was not one of them. All of the bags sold on the Carden website are stuff she has "farmed out" to another manufacturer, or at least that is what she told me. I did get a set of bags for one of my Pattern planes and they seem like decent bags but they are not the same quality of the Jackie Saks I just got for my F-16. Downside there is that you better not be in a hurry.

I have a set of Carden wing and stab bags that came with my 3.31 yak when i bought it used.
Nice bags but there is no way in you know what I would have purchased these new by choice.
I would have gone with a custom set from Revoc including a fuse bag if I wanted to spend that kind of money!

The hobby-pak and the Spot On bags have served me well for other planes.

I haven't had the need for new wing bags in quite some time but are Wing-Totes no longer available? I have a set for my 40% as well as a Hobby-Pak bag. I prefer the Wing-Totes as they are stiffer and offer better protection.

yes hobby-pak are good bags.
Valley view rc also sells them with the VVRC logo embroidered on them.

How do Pilot RC bags stack up? I have one I bought for my 35% Krill Extra, but I don't have the other brands to compare to. The one thing I wish were different so far is the Pilot bag's wing spar tube pocket isn't long enough for the Krill's tube.
