Hey Fellows

With out going into all the hell I went through I'll just make this easy. I live in Nashville, TN and I'm looking for a great carden builder, well let me put that in a different text, someone who has a great Rep in the carden building department. For those of you who build well I guess it would be a little strange for you to answer " I'm the Great Builder your looking for" Sorry about that.. I was promised a build by a well known builder and since this is a G rated site lets just say Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde. But anyway I'm looking for a new builder, It would be nice if he was around 4 to 500 miles from Nashville. Thanks everybody...

Randy,

I have had two Carden's built by Walt Beike in the last year.
A 260 and a 300
You wont find a better builder anywhere.

Thats funny Ward!
I am lucky cause I get to see them every day!

Its been a few weeks since I have flown the 260 but the 300 is racking up the flight time.
I think I have close to 200 flights on it now.

Walt's work is second to none and he's an even better person.

Both!

Seriously, pick the one you like better as far as looks and go with it.

I've been flying the 300 more than the 260 because I find for me, I can roll the 300 better.
It just seems a little easier on points, and lines.
