Tom,

Any other 35% aircraft (or LARGER) other than your Extra in the near future. Like maybe a biplane of the ultimate design????

thanks

While there is a great deal of ego gratification in producing a big ARF like that, there isn't much money in it.

The market for planes that will cost over $3,000 finished is very small, and the cost of developing planes that size is high. Our Extra 330LX is a great plane but I think that will be the last really big one for a while.

BME is supposed to be producing a 78" Ultimate. Goldberg has one at 70.5". Aeroworks and H9 have them for 150CC. How many Ultimates can the world need?

We are working on a bipe, exact size and design still to be determined. I'll announce it when I'm sure I can deliver it.

Thanks for your support, sorry I can't do what everyone wants.

TF
