Carden 260 Built by Tom Mikalauskas

Tony, sounds like a plan.

John, he is still on the fence. I am guessing he will use the cans, but wants to see if he can make mufflers fit without having to hack the cowl.

Looks good i see you have the rudder servos in the tail. I see alot of people doing this.I pick up a carden 40% 540 will start building in a few weeks.Been thinking about the rudder set up.

[cbk07]

Rick, I think the Edge may be more prone to being tail heavy. Ask first, it may be better off with pull pull. You will love the Edge! Craig

Here is a Carden 260 Tom did for me a few month ago. He also did the covering.
He has also done a Carden 330 - I can't say enough about his work.

[Positive_Spin]

Sorry, Tom not only did the covering - but he did the painting too!

[Propstriker]

Hey Craig!! Tom did a great job...almost a shame to put covering on it!

Can't wait to see what scheme you come up with...Best Regards!

He says Andre told him to bump our rear ends to get us loose. Oh well, he can't choose his sexuality! Wayne, thanks. Your build thread put me over the edge to buy another Carden. I have a couple of ideas of schemes in my head, but have not come up with anything final. Winter is closing in fast here, so I will take my time and finish it up this winter. Craig

Ok this is all out war !!! :22a: Guess I'll have to make sure I am always in front of you guys !!! Would not want to be acused of bumping anyones rear !!!! Especially if elie is screaming " i'm leaking" . Just stay away from my virgin A$$ !!! We'll see whos fast !!! This is all you'll be seeing all night ! :9: I have also been taking lessons from Gremlin X he's a real pro !!!!

JB, cans are for Imac flying fools! I want loud and bad ass !! it will be either mufflers or straight pipes !!!!:4:

Craig is right. The 260 tends to come out more nose heavy than the Edge and putting he rudder servos in the back of the fuse helps balancing. The Edge comes in a more tail heavy and using pull-pull helps balancing. If you want to put the servos in the tail on he Edge you have to make sure the early building takes account of that. It might help talking to one of the Edge builders or Carden.

Not only does Tom build nice, but he is a HELL of a friend as well!!! Tom not only has built my past 2 35%'s, but is there if you need any help too!!!

Tom is very local to me, and I was at his place when he was finishing up Positive's 260. Been there while he was building King's YAK, and among countless other birds.

I gotta agree here, cans are for wimps!! Make as much noise as humanly possible!!!!

Bunk~

Nah, cans rock. Mufflers are for lazy guys that dont want to install two holders. No need to make all that noise,not to mention, its far more neighbor friendly. My car is loud, my motorcycle is loud, my airplane is quiet, just how I like it. Mufflers suck. No reason to be loud anymore, as demonstrated at the Don Lowe Masters 06.'

Dont give in to all the Swan-abees!!!! Do it right and put cans in that beast, why ruin a good airplane?!?!?!? You can still run a two blade and make some noise!!!!

[cbk07]

Got the gear painted and a little bit more of the fuse covered this weekend. Starting to look like and airplane!!

[cbk07]

The scheme is based on a scheme I saw on Buddy Hale's 35% Extra 330. I am basically changing the purple out with pearl blue
