Default Extra 260 from Horizon

What does everyone thing of this plane. Worth to get??? Was thinking about putting in the Spektrum and the VPP that horizon has. Or should I get the 4d that you can put floats on or change to reg gear. think it is by hobby people.

I got one for christmas. It looks pretty good, just like the regular foamy kit except a little stronger foam. I should soon be putting it together with a 2208/34 axi

The extra 260 flys pretty well but its more of an outdoor plane and has too much carbon to be a really good indoor flyer, but it does fly well so its all about what you want to do with it.

I should have mine today or tomorrow. With proper equipment selection it can be built in the 7 ounce range, but with that VPP setup, count on 10 ounces. For the $44 price tag, it is an unbeatable bargan - prehinged, painted, precut carbon, preinstalled carbon edges, etc.
