I have not flown the 260, but have a bunch of time on the Yak. Gotta agree about the rolling with dmichael, best rolling plane I've ever flown. Heard nothing but good things about the 260. From what I'm hearing, it's easier to keep the 260 super light. If you're flying at altitude, that might be something to consider.

Believe it or not, the round front end is pretty darn efficient! Penetrates extremely well! The latest unlimited racer designed by Fred Frech has a round cowl. It's a semi cleaned up T-6. A BUNCH faster than the super streamlined mustangs. Go figure?
