This may not be the right forum to ask this but I'll try it. I just bought an Extra 260 by Seagull Models and was wondering if there was any experiance out there with this plane. My son had a Goldberg Edge 540 until the expiration date rolled around day before yesterday. That plane is now no longer available in the 90 size nor is the Yak 54. The Goldberg Edge was the best flying plane I have ever had in my hands. I am just wondering if the Seagull Will be anywhere close.

I have not had that model but I can say my experience with Seagull models is very positive.
They are well built and covered with good instructions. Made in Vietnam if I remember right.

Ditto to what missleman said. I've had several and I like them a lot

Thanks for the replies guys. After I get it together and get in the air I will post some results

 I have the 260 .  The ARF looks nice . I had a problem with the laterail balance ,  Needed 2.1/4 oz of wieght in the left wing to balance. Called Horizon and they told me to try flying it without the weight first , to see how it handled. It would drop the right wing very easily , very hard to land it that way. 
 I added the 2.1/4 oz. of lead to the right wing tip and made it a tad nose heavy and still had the problem with the right wing dropping at slower speeds.. I`ve talked with several others that have this plane and same issues I`m having with the right wing stall, but not the weight issue. The plane handles very  poorly. Very nice ARF, just does`nt handle very well.
 I have the Seagull 540 Edge V2 also , much, much better handling plane. I would recommend it , over the 260.

This is odd!
A couple of our club members have the Extra 260 and they are fine.
I've had 2 of the Edge 540 V2's.
The first was great, 'flew straight as a die until someone taxied into it. The second was awful, it was so out of trim that I crashed it on the maiden.
Now,
I had fitted them out identically and the CG's were in the same position as was the lateral balance. Clearly, they don't come out of the box all quite the same.
maybe you have a bad'un

I have a 90% complete Seagul Super Star. I bought an OS 1.60 for it and it just needs control surfaces installed and it's ready to fly. I have postponed it because it is somewhat larger than my largest with the exception of the Goldberg Tiger 120, but that's a totally different class of airplane.

So, far, it has been very solid and easy to put together, and with all the room in the radio compartment.. heck, I was thining of having a dance in there!!

Nice model as far as I am concerned. AND, I got it for a romping stomping 89 US Dollars!!! YES, brand new.

CGr.

A friend of mine bought a Seagull Extra 300S about two weeks ago. It's well built. The covering has bubbles here and there but nothing major. Very nice plane that.

I agree , for the money , they are very nice ARFs . The construction and covering are pretty decent .I`ve got an odd one on my handsand noway knocking Seagull , just reporting what I`ve run into with this one plane .
There isa reason it flys like it does , I just have`nt figured it out yet. got me stumped .

Insane - it sounds like your 260 lands and handles about like mine. Mine will drop the right wing if you get too slow with it. Landing has to be pretty hot or you'll see the cart wheel effect, which isn't pretty. The Cg if I remember correctly was at 8mm from L/E. I don't really know where mine is at now but that was way too tail heavy for me. The lateral balance only took moving the battery pack to the right side to correct it.I had a sub-C battery pack that I put inside the engine compartment that made things much easier. I never put it back on the balancer to see where it was at. The 260 ,to me, don't compare with the Goldberg 540. I recently found one here on RCU to purchase.I haven't put it together yet, don't know that I will as long as the 260 holds together. I had a Saito 100 in the first one, while it did not have unlimited vertical it flew the plane just fine. I have the same engine in the 260. I found a deal on a Saito 120 that I intend to put in the Edge 540. I'm eager to see if it handles as good as the first one.
