 |  THE ONLY HANGER 9 260 WITH A 3W TOC 120 BUILD
Yes folks you heard it. I believe this will be the first Hanger 9 260 with a TOC 120 strapped to it for power. I'm sure there will be a lot of folks here saying that is the wrong combo and it will be a heavy pig and not fly worth a darn. Well I'm here to prove and show those folks it will fly just perfect. What I will be doing is stripping out my Chapman 580 which currently is setup with the 120, 8411's and NIMH batteries. I will transfer those directly over into the 260. Unfortunately I DESPISE building, even though it is an ARF and probably nothing to it. But if you knew me well you would know I am not a builder nor do I build. So I'll have my builder John put it together for me and he'll be posting pictures of it as he goes. Plus I really dont have the time to build it right now and I want to fly it ASAP. I'm hoping once its done we can get a video of it to show what a 120 will do for it. If its anything like my Chapman Cap it will rocket out of a hover like a foamy and fly nice. So stay tuned. I'll be stripping the cap this Saturday and hopefully delivering the motor, servos and batts to John on Sunday.

I say it pulls up like a bat out of hell! I've seen 100cc comps with 180's on em and yanked on pretty good without blowing apart. I think it'll rock with it on there as long as you don't do any full throttle snaps, blenders, or walls. Other than, it ought to be badass.

May have something to do with the wings, not sure. That's when the replacement wings are due in too.

I just finished mine with a 3-w 120. I'm waiting for the weather to warm up. Mine did add 2 pounds to the total weight. Now before everybody jumps on me about the weight. I had this engine already and would have cost me $500 a pound to save 2lbs. I had to put my batteries in the tail to balance. I'm using a 28x10 CF. Looking forward to good weather. Dennis
