Extra 260 3D Profile
 
Key Features

• Made with laser-cut, genuine, 3mm Depron foam
• Extensive high-quality lightweight carbon fiber support rod truss system for reinforcement and strength
• Installed carbon fiber spar reinforcement on leading edges and trailing edge of wing, fuselage, and tail
• Lightweight for extreme 3D performance and excellent precision flying
• Perfect match with the E-flite Park 300 motor or the Park 370 hollow shaft motor (1200Kv) with the ShowStopper Variable  Pitch Prop System
• Engineered for easy mounting of variable pitch prop systems like E-flite's ShowStopper VPP and servo
• Vibrant factory-painted trim scheme
• Designed by aerodynamicist and competitor George Hicks

Overview

The Extra 260 was designed by former E-TOC champ George Hicks to give profile 3D foamie fans a great-looking, lightweight plane with competition-level performance.  At the heart of its superb flight characteristics is a rigid, carbon-reinforced real Depron foam airframe.  This unique design eliminates flex so control response is crisp and precise.
