I started working on the prototype 35% Extra 260. This is a scaled down version of the 42% Extra 260 that I also manufacture. The wings span is 103" and will fly with a 100cc engine. I hope to keep the weight around 25 lbs.

The fuselage is built the same as the 42% Extra. All of the stringers are in and the side sheeting is on. Its now ready to glue on the turtledeck and build the hatch.

Hi Tony, you built an Aerotech Edge for me that I picked up at Joe Nall, remeber? Anyway, what's the price going to be on these and will you do an ARC? Looks like a winner!
