Default Carden Edge 540 finished

I know we have all seen about 300 of these things, but they are so good looking I didn't think you guys would mind seeing a newly completed one. . .

Wow look at that custom baffling on the cowling around the engine heads. Did it come custom cut like that?

Nice looking bird. Post a video if possible.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. JoeAirport, the baffling does not come with the kit, I had to custom make it. When I finally got it done, I thought that making the baffling was the single most time consuming aspect of the entire build. Anyway, it should pay dividends with keeping the engine running cool.

Hey Mike, I like everything on the plane except for the graphics!!!! Just kidding. You did an awsome job on the graphics and they really add tremendously to the finished product. Thanks again for everything. By the way, for everybody else, Mike's graphics are great. He has a great selection of stuff and even makes custom sizes, etc. Best of all, very reasonable in pricing. Thanks again Mike. Check out his web site.

That is beautiful. Do you mind if I make one just like it? What are the colors?

Hello Bob. They say immitation is the greatest form of flattery. Thanks for your kind words. The colors are metalic red, black and yellow. The covering is monocoat and the front hatch, cowling, wheel pants and gear are all painted with PPG base and clear coats. Good luck.
