Carden 260 built by AJ Lee
Well after seeing the last build that AJ Lee did I just had to give him a try. Not only because he did great work but because he was just so darn fast. AJ recieved my plane on the 15th of October and began work on the 19th. Today the truck came to his house and picked up the plane to be shipped to Mac Hodges where I will pick it up. Can anyone build faster?? LOL This building season I had 2 Carden 260's built in the same scheme. One was done by AJ and the other was done by John Monaghan. Both builders did/are doing an awesome job on the planes. The fit and finish on the planes are just second to none. AJ's plane should be to me by Thursday. He is actually filling out the shipping information as we speak to get it on the truck and to its new home. If anyone is thinking about builders either would do a perfect job. I have a ton of pictures to upload this evening to show you guys detailed pictures of the build. On the pictures, you'll notice a few changes I made with the plane and then other changes AJ did which came out great. During the build AJ was wonderful to work with! He always kept me informed on where he was on the build and would send numerous pictures either every other day or every couple of days. Well hopefully everyone enjoys the pictures as much as I did. I'll get them loaded up as soon as I get home this evening. Might be a little later because I'm heading over to Johns to start installing gear into the fuse.

Re: Carden 260 built by AJ Lee
AJ just called me and said the truck left his house about an hour ago. He also sent me pictures of the crate he built, which is very impressive, and of the truck driving out. Can't wait to see the finish product.

Re: Carden 260 built by AJ Lee
How much lightening was done on the planes? What is the estimated ready-to-fly weights?
Looking forward to all the pics!

Re: Carden 260 built by AJ Lee
2nd round. The last couple are how AJ ships his planes. He builds the box from scratch and packs it extremely well. Well I'll let you be the judge of his packing and shipping ways.
