The plane looks great. Checked the weather in Richmond this weekend- partly sunny and mid to upper 40's......

I was cleaning up the shop cabinets this week and ran across a picture from several years back- my first Joe Nall- probably 8+ years ago now. Carden did a 40% Ultimate for Mike McConville. Never went to production. Sorry for the quality- I just took a digital picture of the photo.

Has any other Carden 300 flown yet ? If not, I think you should get out regardless of the cold and become the first....

Status: offline 		Nope, that was my Ultimate and Carden was considering doing a kit of it, but decided not to do it. That model was an earlier version of what became the Hnagar 9 Ultimate. It was very similar but had thinner wings with flying wires and a few other little differences.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the clarification, Mike. Is this plane still flying somewhere?

You probably don't remember this but at the 2004 Masters we shared a table and conversation at lunch (one of our mutual friends is Wayne Geffen). Among other things we talked about your Carden 260 - I don't think it was done yet as you weren't flying it - and I had suggested that someone should throw a larger canopy on one, push the turtledeck back a bit and turn it into a 300. Obviously I wasn't the only one that thought that.

Dave

Status: offline 		I can have it ready for the weekend but I'm looking at 4" of snow right now and we're suppose to get 12" to 16". Hummm...., maybe some skis ? BTW my wife doesn't think I'm fast enough, at building that is.
