Hi:

Some of you may remember that I started development of an all Composite Extra 260 a very long time ago. Did you ever wonder what happened to it?

The development took so long that I had the 41% Extra 300 built also, which is a wonderful aircraft. Basically the Extra 300 is the same plane but with a longer canopy, different cowl, and a bunch of features that I thought a big plane needs.

Now, finally, the prototype of the 260 is flying. This is Bill Hempel with the very first Wild Hare Extra 260 41% scale. It has a 3w157, caisters, Futaba servos, etc. No reports yet on weight or how it flies.

There are also two photos of another prototype that was flown in Thailand by Xtreme Composites, again no information on how it flew.
