My name is Mitch Buckley I'm 20 and I'm send you photos of my 40% Extra 330S.  First I would like to say GOOD JOB! I loved this project right from the start to where it is now.

I only have about 5 flights on it (snow started this weekend) this was a joint partnership project with a friend of ours that actually owns it and myself, my farther, and the owner building it on my DINING ROOM TABLE!!!! (I have an under standing mother!) The airplane flies like it's on rails, the spins are just amazing, and rolling circles are just too easy! .

This was my first 40% project and I'm glad we choose a Carden! It has a DA-150 with MTW cans, 8 -  8411's,   2) Hitec 805bb's on rudder,  soon to be replaced with 8611's and a Hitec 5945 for throttle and an Airtronics Stylus radio, with 4000 MAH Powerflite NiMH with a 28.5x12 Mejzlik 3 bladed prop.

We built this plane while I was going to East Coast Aero Tech to become an aircraft mechanic and I finished it in time for my graduation picture.  My class number was 802 (hint:N802BS). Here's a few pics of the plane and a few of my graduation. I'm kneeling next to the plane in the graduation pic.
 
 Thank you  Mitch B. Jim S.  Jack B

Dennis and Caroline,
 
It was great to meet you at the Don Lowe Masters.  Having talked to both of you on the phone so often, it was nice to actually meet you in person.

Kurt and I had a great time at the Masters, and I think as a team, we did pretty darn well for the first appearance.  Of course, it is all in the caller (wink, wink)!  He is sure a great pilot.

Thanks, Ken McGuire

   Wanted to send you some pics of my new 40%  Carden 330, I have 14 flights on it know and wow does it fly great.  I thought my 35% Carden edge flew nice but my new 330 is top notch; it flew great no trim adjustments at all. I’ve heard people say that before and always thought "ya, right".

Just goes to show what great plane you’ll produce and what a wonderful job Jim Short did building it. Thanks again for such a great product and I want to say thanks to Jim Short for such a fine job in building it for me.

 

Thanks Terry Gramling

 

This is Terry's 35% Edge 540

Caroline,
 Here is the pictures of my new plane from Dave and Lonnie Jones.
 Man you guys know how to design a plane, this is great.

No mixing at all. Great 3d capability with your recommended CG and its a pattern machine. 
 
Thanks again,
Andrew Jesky

Hi Dennis and Caroline
I am attaching some pictures of my new 40% extra, built by Jim Short a fine gentleman, the plane is a perfect 10 in performance and appearance, it is the best flying plane I have put my hands on to date ( you probably heard this before) .

One click of down trim was all I needed only because it is setup tail heavy for better 3D performance, thanks for a great product and thanks for recommending Jim, I am now looking forward to the 40% Edge that Jim is also building
