Default Dalton 260 is finished baby!

Finally got it finished and flew it today. This plane is f*#king incredible, it has meet and exceeded all of my expectations. You really have to fly this plane to understand how well if flies and grooves. Here is a list of what's all on board.

Dalton 260
3W 157cs
Hitec 5955's
Smartfly Power Expander
Smartfly Turbo Regulator
Fuch 32x10 freestyle cf prop
Troybuilt Li-ion


The combination of the 157 on this airframe is awesome. Pulls the sh#t out of it. This plane is rock solid, does the best snaps of any plane I have ever flown. Upright, inverted, uplines, downlines, 45's, 1,2,3, it does not matter. It flies them on a rope and stops as soon as you come off the sticks. You don't get that "little something extra" that most other planes give you when you snap. Chopped here are some pics for you to get your panties wet. The plane is naked but will have graphics very soon.

Tony, you da man!

Awesome looking plane, and congrats on the maiden. To be honest I think I like it naked, looks very clean and easy to look at. I know people go either way when deceiding on graphics but I like the look of this one plane. I'm sure it will look kick ass with them too though.

Hmmm....that looks too sweet to stick graphics everywheres....I like them clean and smooth. It's an original covering scheme too which is that much sweeter. It's not everyday that you see a white and orange covering job that looks this good.

Very sweet plane, I would really like one of these in an ARF, with my covering selection...I know, I'm asking way too much.

Yeah I know, Tony, I've seen some of your work, absolutely beautiful...It's all about the funds, right now. I have a fully renovated house for sale right now, maybe after it sells I'll be in a better position. This is my dream plane...
