Bill Hempel here!
I hope Tom is wrong with the Extra 260 as it would be a very nice competition platform! I am still holding out hope that the plane will be sent and production will proceed. The all wood 41% Extra that Tom came out with, retains all the same measurments/airfoils as the 260. The proto type Extra 300 flew very well and will out fly the biggest dollar planes out there. The 3D capabilities of the Extra 300 is FANTASTIC! This is one of the best freestyle planes I have ever flow.
