Extra 260 Kit Build
Hello everyone; I am looking for a kit to build would like a 40% or so extra 260. Not an arf , I have had two arfs , Both Edges . I have been building for many years and have the desire to spend some shop time again. Any help would be great. Have built all types of aircraft in my 45 years of building from stick to foam. When I was 14 or so I told my dad I wanted to build planes for people that didnt have time. He said that wont work guys all want to build there own! How times have changed.

Re: Extra 260 Kit Build
I'm finishing up a 35% Dalton 260 that I should maiden in about 2 weeks. It was my first GS build and everything went well and I'm very happy with the results. A lot of work but I'm glad I did it and I'll do a 40% Dalton in the future. The Daltons go together without a problem as I'm sure the Cardens do. There are many build threads for either on FG which are a great help. Enjoy!

Re: Extra 260 Kit Build
Thank You for the responces. I will look into the Dalton line up. Nothing like your own build. Do you have any pics of your new lady?

Re: Extra 260 Kit Build
I'd like to see some pics of that Dalton also. You don't see too many 35% Daltons around here.

Re: Extra 260 Kit Build
Don't forget that the new motorboxes from carden are now cnc router cut with tab lock construction. Made it really light and easy to build square. I'd prefer a Dalton for ease of building and they just fly so damn well, but so do cardens. It's win win either way.
