Default Re: My new CARDEN 300 43%

Thanks everyone... I cant wait to get it done... Big question is will the 43 or the 40 fly first. Both are in the Basement. 40 has the fuse covered and will start stabs and wings next week. got everything else. cant wait 2 new cardens for next year. I guess old faithful will get a little less flight time this year. There is a lot to be said for a carden my 40% 260 has over 250 gals of gas run thru it and still fly's like it did when I test flew it.

Jason,

Thats a nice looking plane. What did you put the 150 in that you just bought from me? Do you have another Carden? I just picked up my 2nd 170 and will put it in a Krill Yak for now...but thinking the large Carden would be a neat plane to have. I really like their Extra...Let me know how it flies.
