HI PAtty, thanks for the response.I already HAVE measured your plane. . at the Concord, NC Airshow some 4-5 years ago I took measurements of the tail surfaces, with the help of your wing-wiper/intern. You, Karen, Millie, and a couple of other people from your support group all signed both of the planes I had on hand for the RC Display at the airshow, an Extra 260 (38%) and a 300sx (35%)in your new color scheme and featuring the enlarged rudder that Walter started putting on the Extras. I remember making an idiot of myself after the airshow when you stopped by and we talked for a few minutes (talk about halo effect. . my brain was not engaged) Btw, the 300sx has flown exactly ONCE since you signed it. It was then taken apart and the radio gear and engine removed, and now sits in the corner of a room, patiently awaiting the day when I reinstall the components and then Donate it to Aero Sport for their lobby display. (You told me, at the time, it was the first model in that scheme you had seen. . kind of makes it special)
Anyway, getting back on track here. . . . .
I know the basic measurements for the the majority of 260 and 300 series derivatives . .I just need "official" documentation. Maybe next year, on my way down to Punta Gorda for the JR Challenge, I can stop in at Aero Sport and get some measurements off the Extras that are sure to be on hand. Mike Mancuso is going to be doing some full-scale presentation at the Joe Nall Giant Scale rally this week, in Greenville, SC., so I'll see about putting a tape on his plane (VERY carefully. . .)
Again, thanks for the response. I'll keep beating my head against this wall until something gives.
