RE: Composite 2.6 vs 3.0
You can go to my website to see a vid of my 2.6M Extra. I think the power-weight is better on the smaller plane. Climbout from hover is more like a launch and the plane just powers its way through snaps on the way up. Mixing on mine is about 8% elevator and 5% aileron. I have done the Unlimited sequence with my 2.6M, and it goes through all the maneuvers easily. I am very happy with my 2.6M.
