New WH 40% 260

Here is a shot of a 40% plane from WH. Looks good in my opinion . The wings are built up, not sheeted. If it flies as well as my little 28% it should be a real performer. I think Tom said something in the neighborhood of $1,300.00 to $1,400.00 for the ARF . If that is true.

That would be called a 300 then.

Yep. They REALLY need to get someone else to design their color schemes. They are all nasty, especially their Ultimates!!!

Yes, you heard right. They sell a 50cc SU-29 now that is composite. I think the EXtreme guys are making them. The same ones that make the comp Edge that Planesplus sells.

Just build them out of sticks and paper! You guys are way to picky. Wait till you see my DA100 powered Sopwith Camel, with wings made out of a Fruity Pebbles box! Barny Rubble on the bottom, and the fat guy on the top.. Its a gay thing. (sorry homos for the gay jab). I said fruity.

Didn't know that. If these are the same guys doing the 260 I would be a little apprehensive that the same might happen with the 260. After all the r&D is done, they jack the price.
