I'm sure if ther's anything wrong with Skippy's (aka E-mo) plane, I'll get the blame, not Kevin.

I have been interested in a 50cc Extra 260 for a little while now. I am curious to see how this plane performs. I would like to know if he will offer this plane in ARC form. I like to use my own color scheme, so I would like to be able to cover the plane myself. Either way the construction looks pretty good from the pictures I have seen.

I tried cleaning this one up a bit. Sorry we missed it. Guys, instead of getting upset, just hit the "report post" button and we'll take care of it.

This wasn't really too bad, but I agree. We have to give the guys new product a chance to even hit the market before tearing it down.

Got somthin' for you to stroke...

I feel pretty confident after talking to Kevin at TAS, these are gonna be some nice ARF's.
That being said, if there is anything in the building prosess that a semi-tarded chimp can't figure out, I'll be hearing "Hey man, you told me to get this thing, you fix it." from ol' Skipperoo...

The wife and I have one of these on order. I see on the website that the planes have made it to this country and are being shipped to the distrubution point. Cool. I am looking forward to it.

Just ordered mine and Kevin is a straight up guy. He returns calls and answers emails quickly.

I wish some of the manufacturers were this good.

I think it is going to be a nice plane and one of the best looking schemes I have seen.
