35% Dalton Extra 260
I started working on the prototype 35% Extra 260. This is a scaled down version of the 42% Extra 260 that I also manufacture. The wings span is 103" and will fly with a 100cc engine. I hope to keep the weight around 25 lbs.

Re: 35% Dalton Extra 260
The fuselage is built the same as the 42% Extra. All of the stringers are in and the side sheeting is on. Its now ready to glue on the turtledeck and build the hatch.
