Carden Aircraft Featurd Pilots

	March 20, 2013 Hi Dennis. I attach a couple of pictures of my new 124 Pro that was built, painted and covered by Mike Vascellaro. The plane was built great but the covering job is the best that I have ever seen. The plane is powered by a DA 200 which I can't say enough about. I am using 2 in 1 headers and KS 95 rear exhaust cans with a Mejlik 3 blade 29x12N prop and tru turn 5 1/2" ultimate style spinner.
	The radio is a JR 12X with DSMX and I am using the Power Box Royal Spektrum with 3 Duralite 5200 mah batteries, 2 for the Power Box and 1 for ignition. I am using JR 8911HV servos all around with SWB arms. Graphics were done by Dennis Kirby. A big thanks to all and to you Dennis for giving us another winner. This one might be the best yet. Tony Bonanno

	May 27, 2010 Hi Dennis, Here are some pictures of my new 43% 260 that I have been flying in 2010. The 43% 260 is absolutely awesome. I can't say enough about it. This plane will be my primary IMAC plane for 2010 but it also 3D's very well. It was built, covered and painted by our friend and master builder Brian Hueffmeier (thank you very much Brian for a perfect plane) and graphics are from Kirby's Graphics.
	It is powered by a DA 170 on KS 95 cans using a Mejzlik 3 blade 29-12N prop. I am using all JR equipment - 2.4 12x, 8711's on all control surfaces - 2 on each aileron, 1 on each elevator half, 2 on the rudder and an 8411 on throttle. I am using a Power Box Spekturm which has a JR 1221 Rx built in. The batteries are all 4900 mah Duralites - 2 for the rx and 1 for the ignition with regulators built into the power box.
	I have my CG a little further back then we spoke about about, 4 1/4" from the leading edge at the tip. As with all my Carden's, they always exceed expectations. Thank you as always for support when needed and for providing us with such a superior product. Tony Bonanno

	May 13, 2010 Hi Dennis, I have been been meaning to send you pictures of the 40% 260 that I flew last year. I am now flying a 43% 260 that I will send you those pictures soon. Please add the attached pictures to your website and my gallery.
	The 40% 260 was built, covered and painted by Tom Mikalauskus (thank you very much Tom for a perfect plane) and all graphics are from Kirby's Graphics. It is powered by a DA 150, uses all JR equipment - 2.4 12x, 8611's on all control surfaces - 2 on each aileron, 1 on each elevator half, 3 on the rudder and an 8411 on throttle.
	The Rx is a 2.4 JR 1222 and the batteries are all 4900mah Duralites - 2 for the rx and 1 for the ignition with JR regulators. I flew the plane all last year in numerous IMAC contests and enjoyed it very much. As with all my Cardens, they always exceed expectations. Thank you as always for support when needed and for providing us with such a superior product. Tony Bonanno

	May 21, 2007 Dennis and Caroline As we discussed I flew my new 260 today and you have done it once again. I know the 260 has been out for awhile but I finally got mine in the air. The plane has been sitting in my house since December waiting for a day nice enough to fly. Finally got one today and while it wasn't perfect and despite 25-30 mph winds I did the maiden flight today and it was excellent. Pictures are attached
	The plane was built, covered and painted by Brian Hueffmeier. He did a phenomenal job with the artwork and paint work. Also, believe it or not, I did not have to add one single click of up, down, left or right trim to get the plane to fly straight and level. Awesome. As with all my 40% Cardens, the plane is powered by a DA 150 using MTW cannisters.I have JR 8611's with SWB arms all around, 2 on each aileron, 1 on each elevator and 3 on the rudder in a direct push pull set up. I am using 2 JR synthesizer receivers and 3 Duralite batteries with regulators, one 2900 mah on ignition and two 4000 mah, 1 for each Rx.
	Graphics are by Dennis Kirby, thanks Dennis. I am looking forward to flying it again later in the week Thanks Dennis and Caroline again for a great product and excellent support and a big thank you to Brian Hueffmeier for his craftmanship and for building a great plane. Tony Bonanno

	October 27, 2006 Dennis and Caroline I am on a roll. I attach some pictures of my "new" Edge that I have been flying this season. This Edge replaced one exactly like it that unfortunately did not make it into this year.
	I have been flying the Edge this year along with my Extra and finally got around to sending these pictures. As with all my Cardens, the Edge is powered by a DA 150, it has 4 8611's on ailerons, 2 8611's on the elevators, and 3 8611's on rudder using a SWB tray. The ignition pack is a SR 2200 MAH and the 2 JR 945 Rx's use SR 3000 MAH packs.
	The plane was built and painted by Tom Mikalauskas, covered by Pastor Rick Arrowood and the graphics are from Kriby's Kustom Vinyl Graphics. The wings and stabs are protected by WIng Bags by Caroline and they work. Thank you all for a great job.
	I have thoroughly enjoyed flying this plane which can do precision and 3D equally good.
	Once again thank you and Caroline for a great product. Tony Bonanno


	September 15, 2006 Dennis and Caroline Hi how are you. I attach a few pictures of my new Red Extra 330 that I have been flying this season.
	The plane was built by Ron Kahl, covered by the incomparable Pastor Rick Arrowood, painted by Bill Cline and the graphics are from Dennis Kirby. The wings and tail group are of course protected by Wing Bags by Caroline. My thanks to all for a phenomenal flying airplane. The plane has 125 flights on it and does everything from precision to 3D.
	As with all my other Carden planes, it is powered by a DA-150, uses SR batteries for power with a 4 cell 2200mah pack on ignition and 2 RX packs each 5 cell 3000mah. I am using 2 JR 8611's on each aileron and 1 JR 8611 on each elevator half. I have an 8411 on throttle and 2 Futaba 5301's for rudder which uses the Sure Link system. I am using 2 JR 945 Dual Conversion Receivers and a Don Harris smoke system.
	The first flight for the airplane was on April 2, 2006 and I finally got around to sending you the pictures.
	Thank you again for providing me and the giant scale community with a great product. Tony Bonanno

	October 7, 2002 I attach some pictures of my new Edge 540. As with my other Carden 40% planes, I am using a DA-150 for power with two JR 8411's on each aileron, one 8411 on each elevator half, two 5301's on the pull-pull rudder and a 4131 for the throttle. I am using a redundant system with 2 SR 3000 MAH for the 2 JR940 receivers and 2 switches. The ignition uses an SR 2200 MAH and a Harris pump for smoke. The plane has 17 flights on it with the first flight on 9/22/02. The plane was built by Ron Kahl, covered by Pastor Rick and painted by Bill Kline. Thanks guys for a great plane. Caroline, I am using your wingbags and they are excellent. Tony Bonanno



	April 30th, 2002 Dennis, I attach some pictures of my 40% Extra. I have 39 flights on it and it is flying great. I am also flying the 40% Edge and I am enjoying them both. Tony Bonanno
