That would be the one in Matt's avitar then ? Yes it is better. It is a big plane (and heavy) for 33% and a DL 100 would fit in those cheeks. And the price IS right. Hmmm.

I want my next bird to be a 260 that I can squeeze (If needed) the DL into. BUT the Cap has been a close second for my next plane although maybe not the 100cc though. I actually hoped to put one of my four strokes in the Cap.

Damn, so many planes/engines so little $$$.

For the flying I hope to semi- perfect I think that a mid wing Extra is the best choice. In fact I know it is. That said I have always enjoyed caps and the aggressive "stance" they have.

I still think I am gonna go for the 35% SD 260 with DL 100. Maybe a small Cap.
