It always intrests me to see comparisons of one airplane to another, but if they arent both set-up properly the comparison just is not valid. I can change my Carden 260 from the BEST flying airplane most guys have ever flown to the WORST with a few simple tweaks to the set-up in 2 minutes. Same with any given design .
Hi Mike, I have the 27% H9 260, been flying it all summer,flys very well, do you know of anyone making a carbon wing tube for it ? And is the new 35% just an upscaled version? Thanks Artie
