42% Dalton Aviation Extra 260
Well I think this is what I am going to end up getting. Decided not to get a composite arf because there is no way in the world I can afford one!!! But I was wondering if there is anything special I need to know about the Extra 260. Thinking about putting a DA 150 in it. Also would it be a good idea or not to put the pipes on the da. I don't know much about then. I just saw them in a review for the Hangar Ultimate. So far I am not sure for servos. Either Hitec or Futaba. Probably going to be Hitec digitals. Let me know though if there is anything I need to know about the plane. Plan on getting it in June. Well just the plane.

.There is gonna be alot of building time involved. Plus by the time you figure in all the materials and whatnot the composite ARF will only be about 400 bucks more. And unless you like building kits, it is definately worth 400 or 500 bucks to keep from having to build a kit.

that is alot of money for just a kit...if I were you I would go with the dave patrick edge 40% can;t beat it for price and it must perform well if John Glezellis is flying it for competeitions. Only $1500 for an arf with hardware...

Sukhoikid, I'm flying a Dalton 260 with a DA-150 on MTW 110 cans with 9152 and 9351 futaba servos. The combo is great and I would definetly go with the cans. The plane flies awesome and mine is 38 lbs flat with the cans.

I can't really wait to get the plane. I have a while to build it cause I will not get the motor and the rest of the stuff till Christmas.
