Competition Corner

IMAC NATs - 2010

Caroline and I are most proud of all the NATs competitors, as they are all truly winners.  These young men, (and a few not so young), realize that you can't always win.  Every flight is a learning experience, and they come back even stronger, ready for the next flight.  We believe that this is what competition is all about.  For those who choose to fly Carden, a special thanks.

Cardens On-the-Cover

2010 is an exciting time at Carden Aircraft as it marks our 20th year of providing the discerning modeler with the finest kits available.  We thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the cover-shots Carden aircraft have earned over the years.  We sincerely thank all who have chosen to be a part of the Carden family, and look forward to continuing our tradition of excellence!
