27% Extra 260 ARF:
Able to fly smoothly with a wide variety of engines, including the lightweight 50cc gassers and Saito's FA-180 and FA-220 4-strokes, the Extra 260 is capable of superior precision and 3D action. It's constructed from very lightweight balsa and plywood, guaranteeing higher performance and more fun. The attractive landing gear is constructed from durable carbon fiber, which is much lighter than aluminum, yet still provides plenty of strength for rough landings.
Designed by aerobatic ace Mike McConville for high-adrenaline fun, the Extra also offers sturdy-but-lightweight all-wood construction, carbon-fiber main landing gear and tail wheel, and a beautiful UltraCote® scheme—ingredients for a high-performance airplane certain to excite giant-scale pilots everywhere.
