Man, one year younger than me and you have a 150cc plane!!! Lucky dude!

Are the bottom checkers painted or part of the Bad Brad package?

Let us know how the first flight goes. I am curious on your comparison from your 33% Yak to this BEAST!! I have been flying the SD 33% yak for about a year now and was looking at this 260. Let me know the difference you feel when you fly it compared to the Yak. Looks sweet

LOL, Luckily they give me time to do it when the course is closed but yeah, I have thoght about that. Anyways the sd yak is a great plane and I have won imac with it. I really love it, unfortunatly the plane was cursed with a never ending interference problem so I could never get to confindent with it. But yeah, I bet there will be a pretty enormous difference between the yak and this plane in the competetive imac atmosphere. Probabaly in just smoothness but if there are any more I will notify. I would say if you have the extra cash to get this plane you wont be regreting it. These planes are beautiful

Yea, they are sweet looking birds. They are my favorite Extra 260 besides the Carden, but I don't have the skills for one of those yet. I love the way these Composite planes look. Any chance on a video of the maiden flight?
