 |  What is your favorite (best) 50cc size Extra 260?
I am wanting to get into giant scale and would like to start with a 50 size airframe. From what I have read, the Extra 260 is a good airframe to go with. I was wondering your opinions on manufacturers? All help is greatly appreciated.

The Aeroworks 260 is nice and can be finished quickly is definately one I am looking at. Also Chief, and TBM are selling off their remaining stock so you can get a AM/TOC extreme 260 for pretty cheap. I don't have either, but am trying to choose between them.

| Re: What is your favorite (best) 50cc size Extra 260? My AW QB extra 260 came out to be 16.5 lbs. Thats pretty light. Atleast when i fly it it doesnt really matter, because i cant tell besides the awsome power i get out of it w/ the DA 50.

The Airwild has around 1370 squares of wing and the average builder seems to be building it to 15-15.5 pounds with no effort to keep it light. It will definitely be the lightest-flying of them all, but it is just about the ugliest of them. My vote is for the Aeroworks, but only if you have extra $ to go full CF and know how to build it light. 16.5 pounds isn't bad, but I'd prefer 15.5 or less, for the sake of a lighter wingloading, of course, and also because a 16.5 pound DA-50 powered plane up here is a DOG!
