help me pick a new 40% plane
i have been looking at a few 40% planes and haven't been able to make a choice. Jtech 330 or 300 extra, SD 37.5 % yak and 42% extra 260, wild hare extra, aeroworks 40% 260 QB. there are so many good planes to pick from. i want a arf that will 3D with the best of them but still be able to do IMAC well. i have been flying mostly yaks and thought i might want a change so the extras look good. please give me any info you have on which one seems to be built the best and fly the best and why you feel that way.
thanks randy |

Re: help me pick a new 40% plane
I'm getting ready to start my 3rd JTEC 40%er. So I guess you know where my vote lies.

Re: help me pick a new 40% plane
JeeUm i know you have been flying them for some time now, have you had both the 330 and the 300? which one does 3D the best? i like the mid wing 300 looks.
Seg, the dalton is my dream plane but i'm no builder. i think i could do it but i have a very small room i work on my planes in and it would fill it up for to long. i build several arfs for some others in my area and also need a place to work on my planes so a fast building arf is the best way to go for me now. i talked to Tony about building and covering one for me but it was going to take a long time to get it done and a lot of $$. he is a very busy guy. randy |

Re: help me pick a new 40% plane
olaf, thats a good looking plane but i'm not into the giles that much. also i like wood planes because i can fix them when i bang them up.
 anyone have anymore thoughts about the Jtec 330 and 300 extras, also any input on the SD extra 260? randy |

Re: help me pick a new 40% plane
I think the Aero-Works 42% Extra 260 will be a sweet all around plane!
