Default 35% Dalton Extra 260

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.

Tony, this might be a hard question to answer, but how long do you think the kit will be available for sale.
