Default Anybody make one anymore ?

I have the cutest little OS FS .40 that I sure would like to get an airframe for like say the little 260 that E-Flight puts out. A 30 size glow plane that actually LOOKS like a model of a full size plane.

Any outfit put out a suitable aerobatic airframe for this small a four stroke ? No 3D just scale or so flight ?

Zoomer the E-Flite one that I sent to Chad Dixon in Baghdad is just backordered there will be more I believe next month by Horizon web site info! But I beleive the Extreme Flight Edge 540 would be better for that motor as the planes are very close in size but the structure of the E-Flite Extra 260 is10 ozs lighter making it too fragile for a glow 4 stroke Just my 2 cents worth plus the Extreme flight is available and $30.00 to $50.00 cheaper with this sale?
Wingspan 43 in.
Length 40 in.
Wing Area 375 sq.in.
Weight 26-29 ozs.

Thanks, this is exactly the type of ideas I'm lookin' for. Do these accept glow engines and the fuel tank ?

I was admiring some electric plane ad back when noting how these small planes had such a scale appearance and the particular ad had a glow conversion kit offered.

Anyone know which outfit this was ? I'm pretty sure it was earlier this year.
