That is probably going to be tough to answer, how many 300s are there flying? I loved my 260.

Leesburg is awesome and can fly anything well, so I would want to know what the average giant scale modeler thinks of it since that is what the rest of us are.

Well, since I dont have a flight in a 300 yet, I can recomend you the 260 for both IMAC and 3D. Personally I like more the 260's than the 300's.

yea, the reason i made this thread is because both of the planes will fly good, and they both are most probably similar. Now, the hard part is to choose which one to buy for imac and 3D flying...

Do you think there are design changes in the two....to me it looks like they have put a longer canopy and the bottom of the cowl is rounded...as for the rest it pretty much looks like the 260....have they changed the wings...I don't think so, and if I'm correct, there cannot be too much difference in the flying characteristics...just my opinion. I have the 260 and prefer the way the canopy blends into the top deck...the 300 appears to come down at a very steep angle.

I was talking with Mark down at the Masters and he was saying that his 300 flew better than his 260. I don't know how much better, but that's what he said.

The wing is also dropped on the 300. Helps take out some of the coupling
