OK,

I have NOT flown this plane.
All though I WANT TO!!!!

I have seen a blue/white one fly at the JR Challenge back in Feb.
Mark Leesburg and Gene APyson both flew the same plane. Actually, Mark was borrowing the plane from Gene.
I think it weighed about 33.5 lbs.

You can see some video of it flying if you order the 2003 JR Challenge video from SKS.

I also, recently, saw a red/white one fly at the Joe Nall.
Jason Shulman flew it there and Gene Payson also flew it.
This one was heavier because of the equipment used, I think around 36 lbs.

All I can say is that from what I have seen from OBSERVING this plane fly, it HAS to be the BEST flying 40% airplane out there.

I currently own a 40% FC Extra and I WANT to fly one of these TBM Extra 260's BAD!!!!!!!

Drooling,
