Any other 35% aircraft (or LARGER) other than your Extra in the near future. Like maybe a biplane of the ultimate design????

The market for planes that will cost over $3,000 finished is very small, and the cost of developing planes that size is high. Our Extra 330LX is a great plane but I think that will be the last really big one for a while.
BME is supposed to be producing a 78" Ultimate. Goldberg has one at 70.5". Aeroworks and H9 have them for 150CC. How many Ultimates can the world need?
We are working on a bipe, exact size and design still to be determined. I'll announce it when I'm sure I can deliver it.
Thanks for your support, sorry I can't do what everyone wants.

When will you be taking orders on the 28% Extra
When will you be taking orders on the 28% Extra
There will be two versions. The Extra 300 Special is a derivative of our Edge, using the same fuselage with Extra style wings, cowl and landing gear. I've flown this plane and it's a gem, one of the nicest flying planes I've ever had. It looks like the original Extra except it's thinner and sleeker, a bit of artistic license with the scale idea.
There will also be an Extra 330LX, a reduced size version of our 35% Extra. I just received the prototype of this plane and it looks great. The fuse is an inch or so wider than the 300 Special, with a nice wide cowl. It should be a very nice plane also, and very close to exact scale.

I should have pictures of this plane in a few days.

RE: Manufacturing Question???
Thanks for the response.
I don't have an spare engine and if I get another engine, I want it to be a 80-100cc twin. While some of the newer engines may be light enough, it will be too much power. I will decided what to do in January. Thanks for the service you have provided.
