I've always been partial to Cardens myself. I have a 40% Edge and Cap and I have a soft spot for the 330. At the end of the day, they are all excellent airframes if built light and straight. FWIW, I read somewhere that Kyle preferred his old Carden 330 to the Dalton. I would also consider the CA Models Extras as well.

Dalton Carden Aerotech There All good Depends on the amount of money you want to invest. And by the way look on here for used planes and see the selection of aircraft for sale All the above are on there but godfrey's so Im wondering if there doing something right or that people like the way they fly and don't get rid of them. just a thought I have a godfrey and I love it takes time to get them but there well worth it.

most of the time voting is a waste of time the person already knows what they want; however, they still ask to see what the crew says.....

I have flown all of the Carden's and the Dalton. I would also vote for the carden 300 but that was not on your list so I picked the 260 which is the closest. (They share the same wing, and wing position) The 260 and the 300 are both at the top with the 300 having a slight edge in rudder power and lack of coupling however either would be great. (You can pick between the two based on looks alone). The Carden 330 is still a fantastic plane and will win any contest in the right hands, but the rudder power and lack of coupling goes to the above two.) The Dalton would be at the bottom of my list for IMAC.

From a very reliable source, the Wildhare flies better than the Dalton according to him. Unlimited pilot. He thought that the Dalton did wierd things in rollers and the Wildhare was smoother. He has 2 Dalton 260s. That being said, if you are into building, I would get the Carden 300... it'll last longer and flies great. Wish I had the time. I'll have to settle for my ARF, though I do think it flies fantastically.

I also have my eye on the Dietrich 300LP. Supposed to be an animal.
