Default 35% dalton 260

I am thinking about building this plane with my son this winter does anyone have any experience with this plane ? What was the RTF weight ? I like the construction of the plane but I am tossed up on what plane to build. I like the dalton because the airframe is already cut for you.

I am not sure of the RTF of a Dalton, I would think it would be lighter, but i have a 35% Carden Extra 330S that weighs 26.5lbs RTF.

I have never personally owned/flown a Dalton but i am sure they are worth every penny, just as a Carden.

I would go for it, there is no time like the present, enjoy every minute of it. My dad is the one that got me into this hobby and it wouldn't be the same without him. Teach him the skills and as a bonus you get to hang out with your closest friend, he will appreciate it.

The Dalton's are very light. You will be very happy with building one. Mine came in at 26 lbs with cannisters. Happy building.

I have a 35 Dalton that is 95% finished.
They go together great.
AS do Cardens.
I would stick with either one of these companies.
Both are quality products and have GREAT customer service.

Anyone know what the Wing Area of the Dalton 35% Extra 260 is?

Can't find it on their site.
