I see a Katana crying in the back corner.
Make sure you don't cause any "sibling rivalry".

Great looking plane! I love the wheel pants.

Re: New 35% Dalton 260

Holy Crap Ralph!

What's with ALL the Futaba colouring? .... I thought you flew JR?

Looks good .... Now if Tony would come out with a 35% Extra 300 I might just make the switch from Yaks but that skinny 260 canopy just doesn't do anything for me!

Hmmm no wonder I like the Queen song...."Fat Bottomed Girls"!

Hey Jim,

There will be a big old white SPEKTRUM decal on it soon. I am sure the futaba confusion won't be there! LOL... As far as the 300 is concerned I think you might be in for a surprise next season. Can we really get you away from the Yaks. I don't think so Jimmy ! LOL .. I know what you mean about the small canopy. I liked it when I saw the 42% version so I bought the 35% .. There may be a bigger one in my future. Here is a link of John Nelon's Dalton. Great flying airplane!!

Re: New 35% Dalton 260

Very nice looking plane bigguy.

I have the 42% Dalton which I believe is as good as they come.They fly extremely well, you will be very pleased

Tonys' kits are very good with generally a good selection of wood

Re: New 35% Dalton 260

Great job! I like orange too Mine will have a big FAAST sticker on it though

The Dalton's are great building and flying planes from what I've seen. Hope to see it in action next year.

Re: New 35% Dalton 260

Very sweet - you know if you have anything like a Dalton or Carden - you have to move up

oh -- I'll give you $50 for the lonely Katana - you'll never fly it again anyway
