No, but it's the least scale looking 260 I've ever seen, then again $300 is a bargain for a 50cc airplane. I would suggest looking around a bit more though, you can find some really nice 50cc airplanes for just a little more dough.

Yea.. that plane looks super cheap.
look how the cowl fits onto the air frame.
It looks like one of the $25 + $60 shipping .60 planes made by "no name" china guy.

Well I saw it for 199.99 so I bid 1 penny more and actually won with 200 flat. The seller has good feedback. I'm going to see if he'd let me just drive over and pick it up so I wont have to pay any shipping cost.
We'll see......
I'm getting all the equipment for a 50cc setup, and if this turns out to be a lemon I'll use it to break in the engine and then move on.

Just make sure you don't use it to "BREAK the engine".

Definitley worth a try for 200 bucks in that case.

Watch the wings...
I looked at the ad a little more and I had the .60 - .90 size extra 2 years ago.
(the dude is selling more planes at the bottom of the page)
The wing folded in half trying a blender.

But hey for $200 as long as you don't kill the motor... give it a shot!

Diablo2006 · 11-14-2006, 03:30 PM

Why does it need 2 aileron servos, thats just dumb

ShortBus · 11-14-2006, 03:42 PM

You can use two less expensive servos.

Diablo2006 · 11-14-2006, 03:43 PM

But then when it comes to changing the airframe youve got to buy 2 better ones

janatle · 11-14-2006, 04:28 PM

Holy crap..... That was an extreme UGLY 260!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody should buy that, I think its horrible!!!!

ok no hard blenders...check

Actually I wanted to fly mostly precision anyway. I'll stick with blenders on profiles.

Like I said, if I can get it all set up and get started in 50cc I'll be happy.
