Future plane considerations

[Extra260]

Well as many of you know my dream plane was pancaked yesterday and now I think one of the only remedies to get me up is to look into a bright future. My whole family including my grandparents all teamed up and backed me up with a new 37% yak that I will fly for the rest of the season. I am really amazed at the support I have and love my family to death. I really have no desire to be sponsered because it looks like I already have all the companys covered. I am truely lucky. Any ways since the compy was such a dreamy flyer I would eventually love to get another for strictly imac. Yes 3d should not even be a consideration in your recomendations. Imac is my only passion. Any ways obviously my main target for a new plane would be another 3m compy 260 but I would also put the compy yak into consideration if a person has put it side by side with the 260, I would also like the super extra if someone could explain its characteristics to me. Even the aeroworks extra I have considered just because I see so many of them. Any ways I am just dreaming at the time and remember that its ONLY imac I care about. Tracking is may be my favorite characteristic in a plane. Considering I have had excperience with the 3m 260 it would have to be quite a plane to beat it. Attatched is the photo of the scheme I would put the 260 in.

I have the 3.0m Compy Yak..tracks like it is on rails...excellent IMAC plane. I am also about to put a Krill Yak in the air. This looks like it will make a nice competition plane as well..and a DA-150 will pull it like a rocket...The 150 is a little under powered for the big Yak.

Both of those schemes look great, but I like the second one a little more. I know how hard it is to get a plane and you really are lucky that everyone has chipped in for you. A 37% is a dream for me, hell even a 50cc is a dream for me so know that you're very lucky that you're getting the 37%. I'm sure if you dream long enough, you will get another 40%er.

Good luck!

Mike,
Very sorry you lost your Compy. The only problem I see with the second scheme is it might be too "Hot". Black on a composite frame, might not be a good idea.

Thanks guys, I also thought the same thing dan and I would cover it when at comps with the sun covers included.

Any specific characteristics of planes other than the 260

Man I heard of your loss! Apologizes, it is the worst thing that can happen an Rc pilot! Good though that your family have supported you, thats what they are their for!

Your schemes are class! The first is seriously good and no doubt if I get my hands on one I will use it, no joke! Any more? lol

Only if you credit the scheme to me with "mikes scheme" on the bottom of the wings and send me a 100 dollar cheque... no joke.lol
