Default AW Extra 260 35% or AW Extra 300 100cc ?

Hi guys. I had a crash this weekend with my AW extra 260 35% and i will buy another airframe.

I love my 260 and is an exelent plane. But i hire that the 300 is also an exelent plane too.

I like the design and the updates in the pipes zone of the 300 and is a fresh design with 2 more inches in wing spawn.

I never flew a 300 before. Its stable like the 260 or more may be? I need opinions.

thanks.

I would jump on the 300 myself. I flew my buddy's and it flies great. Rocco said it was one of his best designs yet.

Hey Nelvick I was about to chk in on you and see how the Extra was holding up. Guess I know now. What happened mechanical failure or pilot error??? Here's a couple of pic's of the new bird after I stickered her up. Send me a PM when you get a chance. Suzuki Rob

That was happend with my extra 260.

Was a very windy day over 20mph and i flew for more than 18 minutes with a 40cc tank. out of gas of course. Trying to recover the plane i hit the electric wires. Nothing to do because the plane was stalled.

Yes Pilot error for run out of gas. Its reparable but will not be the same.

This one was my extra flown by Gabriel Altuz.
