And the way you fly youd never stop building LOL.

Hmmmmmm.

Looks pretty "CARDEN" to me.

Granted its not going to be a BBW Carden, or one of the other many fine builders that grace us with their work,
But hey.... its a new level of ARF I'll give you that.
I mean look at this picture. Sheeted foam, Ladder sides, cross beams.

I like it, and I too will love it, and pet it and call it George.

mmcconville · 02-28-2008, 08:53 PM

Its too late now for us to change its name to George. Wish we'd have thought of that sooner!

Good point, they don't last long with me, but atleast I do fly.

Al Lewis · 02-28-2008, 08:58 PM

Why is it everytime I finish buying planes some *#%$$#*## has to come along and build one I have to have?????

They're just praying on our weakness!!! Don't succumb to the temptations!!!

Oh, what the hell!! Order one!!

bwilliams · 02-28-2008, 08:59 PM

Hey I flew like 3 months ago.

The skills never leave.

bradyrc · 02-28-2008, 09:01 PM

I drove through Tellico about a month ago on the way to Knoxville and tried to stop in to meet Dennis and Caroline. Dennis was real adamant that I not come by that day that he had some new products out that no one could see at that time.

zoomer260 · 02-28-2008, 09:04 PM

Wish it was a 260. How about a 33% 260 Horizon ? At 89" and 7 feet long this ain't far off !

I hope you are right, it's been ten years for me.

camss69 · 02-28-2008, 09:32 PM

I don't know why but H9 and Mike seem to be coming out with all the cool stuff.

I love my 35% 260, I'm REALLY tempted on that Sukhoi, and now the Carden.... geeze...

That along with the spektrum RX giveaway, all the cool new spektrum RX's, JR RX's, Regs, etc...

These guys just seem to be really knockin this stuff out.

Now if we could just get some better 8611 gears!!! Are you listening? We NEED better gears! Make them out of Ti while your at it.

Hey Greg, weather is not bad for this time of year- sure better than what I have seen north and northwest of here - warm weather is coming soon!

Missed you at Doc's in the Fall. Hope to see you at the Nall.

I'd say they should break off into anything but what they are in now, just to stay in business. Their sales have had to drop off with all the ARF's available now.
