OK here's a few bits of information.

The next batch of the 100CC Extras will be 260s instead of 300s. No real change except to the looks. Anybody that wants a solid color one can order it now, must be prepaid though. They ought to be here in about 3 months, figure just after labor day. I don't know what scheme I will use but it will be different from the 300.

I have ordered a small batch of 35% Edges also, again scheme unknown.

There will be an 88" 50cc Edge 540 with new scheme. The 84" 540T will continue to be available.
There will be an 87" Extra 260 50cc with a new scheme, the 84" Extra 300 will be available also for a while.

This was all in the works before this thread got started, but the input has confirmed that I'm on the right track.

It's over and I didn't faint or fall apart, she was beautiful and the groom showed up, the only down side. Dads (at least this one) never really accept losing a daughter to some other guy.

No, we don't. I have two daughters, one of which is married. They remain your daughter regardless... Congratulations on the addition of a son-in-law to the family.

First and foremost , congrats on gaining a son-in-law! As long as he's a good guy , he'll make your daughter happier than ever! It'll be a cool thing watching her grow up even more raising her own family. That's awesome man!


2nd....I didn't know you we're going to hop on the ball as fast as you just did , and order up a bunch of 260's. How the hell did you do that so quick? What's the real difference between the 260 and 300 anyways....hatch and canopy..and that's it?

BTW.....i DO like the red / white version of your 300 ( not so much the blue and yellow ), but what's this new scheme you have coming? is there anyway you might be able to give us an idea of what it might look like?


BTW......i thought you we're laying low for a little while.....sheeeesh ya friggin' madman! HAHA!!

No decisions on schemes yet. 260 and 300 difference is just the canopy/hatch. IN full scale there are some other differences, but in a model we make so many other changes that those things get lost.

A 35 percent Extra 260 in a scale scheme would be nice, as long as it flies as good as the 35 percent 300! My best flying plane to date! What happened to the MX2?


The mX2 was never produced because I just don't need it. I have 3 100cc planes now and a 4th waiting in the wings, there is a limit to how many planes we can carry. Remember I can't buy 2 or 3, I have to order 50 planes at a crack, and I just didn't see enough potential.

When you say "scale scheme", give me an example. I had the 33% Patty Wagstaff 260's before and nobody wanted them. The other schemes sold well, but the Patty's did not move at all.

So what other scale scheme did you have in mind?

TF



I agree on the scale scheme for a 260, or maybe stealing a scale from a 300 an putting it on the 260. I know its been done to death, but the red bull scheme is nice.

{You could even go so far as to change the colours from metalic blue/silver to metallic burgundy/silver and put the bunny logo on it in blue...sort of a blue bunny theme instead of the read bull... }

If I run across anything interesting I'll post it here for your consideration. Of course, there could also be some solid color offerings.

Status: offline 		I was looking for the one that has the dragon scheme airbrushed on it, but can't seem to find it. Of course, it wouldn't be possible with the oracover anyway...but it looked cool.

Here are some various options (all are from 300 series, but could be used on a 260), in no particular order. There are probably a couple, like the eagle, that don't lend themselves to the covering material, but I thought people may like to see them. I tried to find a variety of traditional and some more modern like the one you used on the Sukhoi. Colors could be changed etc.

Edited to add: These are for Tom and others to consider, I don't think I can afford another plane this large right now so my vote wouldn't count for much.

Status: offline 		How about something kinda like this? not entirely finished yet, I still need to do the paint, and a few things to tidy up the covering, but this is what happens when you suck air and burp the gas too much when you are too low...... You get to re-decorate!!!!!!


........ Yes..... I crashed it.......
