It is hard to compare a plane that has been out for a number of years, Comp-Arf, to a plane that isn't even in the country yet. I am sure that the AM 260 will be great but no one has one yet to give yu a good report.

Why not go with a Comp Arf 260? It's available and it's an awesome machine. I could be mistaking but I've heard that the 3.0 Extra is soon to be discontinued.

That's it? Just two choices? A pretty narrow field when you consider there are several other 40% class models available. Why do you choose just those two?

Because those were the only 2 40% planes that i was really interested in. Do you want me to include a "wild hare" model in there too?

No thanks, you have a valid reason for doing the poll the way you did it, if you only like those two planes then by all means, ask for opinions on them.

Our 41% Extra is so new there would be very few valid opinions anyway, I was just curious why you would run a poll on 2 items.

i know, but those were the only 40% planes that i really could of buy and i liked back then. Look when i posted this thread. I already bought a 3m comp-arf extra 330, so someone could close this thread if they like too.

I don't know, this is a prett close field. I'd go with the one that you might be able to afford easiest. I think the both of them are good flying planes, according to what I've heard.
