Default need info on some good composite planes

hey there, I'm new to this site and so far I love it. I'm looking for an excellent quality composite 35% extra 260. I like the comp arf planes but can't find a scheme I really like in the 2.6m size. any suggestions on some other brands?
thanks, Phil

Get C-Arf to do a custom scheme for you.

If you're not completely stuck on the 260 you could always try the xtreme Edge 540 Unless you wanna try their big 260...

thanks guys! actually, c arf won't do a custom scheme on anything but the 3m planes. but I'm starting to like the 300sx in the fantasy scheme, the rep says it's the best one for 3-d. do you have a link to the xtreme edge? thanks, Phil

The Xtreme edge is sold by BVM Props. They have a special on them right now that's pretty good. I've been flying mine for about a year now, and I can second that it's a great flying plane. Not the best for precision flight, but it's a 3d monster.

Composite Arf has some of the best composite planes that I know of. BVM has some but they are outragously priced.

If you get a CARF, get it in white, and have it painted. I've not been very impressed by their custom paint jobs. Especially for the price!
