Default Aviation Models 40% Extra 260 Build thread
I just uncrated my new 40% Extra 260 fuse from Aviation Models and all I can say is WOW!. This thing is not only built and finished beautifully, but it is LIGHT! I will try to unbox the rest this evening and get the thread started. The 30%'s and 35%'s will hit the docks in a within a week or so and the rest will follow shortly. Craig

You have too many planes now, we should have an auction.

Hi Craig,
How much is this plane? I want to get a Dalton 260 but I cannot wait that long. I think this is the plane I should get. It looks great!

Thanks,

The cost will be in line with the Yaks, in other words, 30% approx $639, 35% approx $995, 40% approx $1700.
the span is 122". The rest I will get for you as I go. It will come out between 37 and 39 lbs depending on how it is setup I am told
