As the maiden draws near with the powerplant mounted ,with that flawless Powerfin prop hangin on the front. The entire plane is such a wonderful piece of engineering and workmanship. It is great to have you wishing us the best of luck.

Absolute best Regards, Jared Sisk
Thanks Jared, I only wish I could break away and be there for the maiden, but that is just not possible.

Bob,
>>
Many nights we sat around drinking and talking about when and where this baby would fly. I remember going out looking at potential sites….. And now here it is about to take to the skies. Hate that you (we) won’t be there to see it, but such is life. Man the craftsmanship on that monster was great, but was is the operative word. Just working with you during the construction of the 40% Extra 260 proves that your craftsmanship is much better than when the 70% was built. >>

Hats off to you and the guys that are putting this into action………….>>

Best of luck guys with the Maiden….>>
