Hi Dennis & Caroline, IMAC NI was last weekend, it was an absolutely superb event, we had 21 pilots in total, which was the largest ever for any IMAC UK competition. We also had a lot of spectators probably in the region of 100 each day, again this is a rare thing at UK IMAC Comps. |
 |
The prizes you kindly sponsored went down a storm and it really made the event very special, I can't thank you enough. It looks like its going to become a regular event and next year I aim for bigger and better, hopefully attracting some big International names to compete!! On a personal front I was competing as well as organizing so it was busy. It worked out well though I took first in Unlimited Class using my Carden Extra with DA170 and first in Freestyle using the H9 Sukhoi for that, it was nice to win on home soil!! |
 |
I have attached a few pictures, I will sort through the many 100s of images and put an article together this week. I was asked by RCMW in the UK to write an article on the event so it will double up for the website and fingers crossed the magazines. I'll send it through once it's done, just thought I'd drop you a quick note.
Once again my Dad & I can't thank you enough for your kindness, Matthew |

May 13, 2009 Things this side have been
great! I've probably got over 100 flights on the 300 now and absolutely
LOVE it! I went over to
Belgium this last weekend for their annual large aero fly-in!

The Carden got tonnes of interest and i suspect it was the only one in Europe? I had the opportunity yesterday to have a go on the little 50cc yak and was amazed! It flies light and stable like my 300! I might have to get one. |

April 29, 2009 Hi Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Dennis,
I finally got out to fly my new 118" Extra 300 and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the way it flew. The overall finish and flying characteristics make it my favorite airplane in the fleet.
|

I was a little worried about building this one, being only 15, but the way you guys thought out this design is top notch making the build process a breeze. |

For anyone considering getting a Carden kit of any kind but are worried about the build process, point them to this response showing that if a 15 year old can build it, anyone can. Thanks for designing such a nice flying airplane. Neil Westdorp |

April 22, 2009 Well after 8 months and about 200 hours here is the finished product. Myself and my dad, Rick Commander, with some guidance from Melvin Holtman, managed to get it done. My friend Mr. John Chlozek covered and painted the plane for me. The plane is covered in Ultracote and the paint is PPG . The plane is powered a by DA150 and has Hitec 5955 servos. The plane weighs 36.8lb . . . very nice! |

Thanks, Keith Commander

Hi Dennis and Caroline |
 |
A
big thanks to both of you for all the help and awesome service! I've posted
some pics but will send you some better ones for your site once I've decided
on a scheme for the wings! I still need to weigh her but she feels
super light and 3d is amazing! |
 |
It's one sweet plane! Cant
wait for it to warm up! |

Dennis, I just wanted to post a few comments here about my new Carden 300 that I am flying in IMAC Competitions. I purchased this airframe from my friend, John Huntington towards the end of July. |
 |
It had about 20-30 flights on it before John sold it to me, so it was basically a new airplane. I now have about 30 flights on it myself, and am really beginning to get to know it well. |
 |
Cam McCausey built this kit, and I must say after flying this plane that whatever he charges to build one is worth it. If you are interested in competing at the absolute highest level in precision aerobatics, having a straight, powerful, and light airframe is a necessity. This airplane surpassed my expectations in all three of these areas. |
 |
Specifics: |
 |
Thanks to Carden, Cam McCausey,
and John Huntington for getting this great airplane into my hands. Also
thanks to my 2-year old son Colin for all of his help maintaining this baby! |

Hi Dennis & Caroline, I just completed my new Carden 40% Extra 300. This was a fairly fast build that went together straight, light and with good parts fit. The kit had the new CNC lightened motor box which I would definitely opt for again. |
.JPG) |
All control surfaces utilize the Durant Direct Drive servo system which saves overall weight and yields very positive slop free control. The plane has a typical setup using a DA150, Mejzlik 28.5x12 3B, KS canisters, A123 batteries (no regs), power expander, Hitec 7955's throughout, etc. It's all up weight came to 36 pounds 10 ounces. |
.JPG) |
Although I'm still in the trim process it already flies easier and with less required inputs than what I'm used to. It has a very smooth and locked-in presentation and holds lines very well. Stall turns are a thing of beauty with straight down waggle free rotation. |
.JPG) |
I could say all the typical things like everyone else says about your planes (it flies straight, has axial rolls, snaps & spins great, etc.) and I would not be lying. Bottom line IMO, is an awesome airframe! Thanks for developing such quality products for our hobby. Dean Nistetter More info on Deans Durant Direct Drive setup here. |

June 22, 2008, Dennis, I finally got my 300 in the air! So far I'm a real happy camper. I have not weighed it yet, but estimate 39lbs. My 3W 170ss hauls it out of a hover with no problem at all. The other person in two of the photos is the builder, Stan LaPointe. |

June 2, 2008, Hi Dennis/Caroline, Just a quick email to say that the new 300 has flown and very successfully!! |
 |
We test flew on Saturday afternoon and all went well , it flies very well and with it being less than 36lbs, it has great power and feels very light on the sticks. |
  |
Many thanks on a great airplane and for all your help, let's hope I can fly it at Tucson this year!! I've attached a link of a small write up I did on the test flight and some photos also. Thanks, Matthew & Trevor
