Default RE: 40% edge, extra, cap

Mark,

Is the plane you currently fly considered an Extra 300 or an Extra 260? Are there any differences in the fuse design (other than wing placement) between a 260 and 300? What are the advantages/disadvantages of the mid wing placement for the Extra?

If the mid wing design is prefered for precision aerobatics, why did Walter Extra go from a mid wing design 260 to a lower wing 300? Was he possibly sacrificing some performance for wing strength?

Thanks for your time.
