Kris Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Best sources for Extra 260-300 Airf..." 04-18-05, 10:18z  Being one of those "Modeler guys", and a Member of IMAC, I'm seeing a lot of 'versions' of this series of aircraft that are (to be kind) a bit less than close to scale outline. The Extras are the most popular Aircraft flown in Giant Scale Modelling competition, with the result that manufacturers are really pushing the limts well past the "10% rule" for scale. I was hoping to find some sources of 3-views and documentation for the proper dimensions of these planes, and wish to make an "Official Bible of Specs" for use by IMAC for all the planes flown in our competitions (everything from Caps, to Extras, One Designs, Velox's, Edges, Yaks, Su's, Etc Etc Etc). I've written to Extra Flugzeugbau twice, with no response, and the sources I find on the Internet really do not give me very accurate information, especially for such things as chord, length and moment ratios/sizes for the full-scale planes, as well as Fuselage cross-section and accurate layouts of the aircraft. So, I'm tossing this ball into the ring to see if the "Full Scale" guys can come up with what I have not. Any information on these aircraft, or sourcs for this information, would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking, specifically, for info on the Extra 260, 300, and 300 Special/300R. The 300S and it's variants, as well as the 300L have been extensively documented, but the three I mentioned are a tougher nut to crack. When I get finished unravelling this mystery, I'll start on another aircraft, until I get them all documented. (obviously I have too much time on my hands) Thanks in advance.
