 |  Pics of your 100cc set up
Hey guys - I'm looking at the 100cc Aeroworks Yak or the Extra 260, is there anyone on here that has pics of your set up in these planes? If so could you please post some pics, I'm looking for some ideals, I have some of my own but would like to see what others have done. Thanks in advance.

I then recovered and glassed the canopy so the plane would be the same as my 42% IMAC scheme. I also sprayed the inside with grey primer and speckle paint. I also put XPS in the plane and left everything else the same. It crashed on landing approach on the 5th flight (or was it the third?). Went into lockout. Not sure what happened but the plane was a loss except for 1 wing, the rudder and the both stabs ( I still have them). newfuse.jpg newelevator.jpg hatch glass.jpg newinside.jpg I recently bought a used AW260 and am in the process of putting it together, it needed some TLC. The cowl is the red/silver/white with black checkers. My scheme will be a version of that but not the same as the AW scheme Here's how I'm going to outfit that (changes in red) JR 10x w/spektrum module Spektrum AR9000 with 2 satellites (2) 8611's per aileron (1) 8611a per elevator (1) 811 on throttle (2) 8611a on Rudder in push/pull configuration from the tail (2) 4800 LIONS for the RX (1) 2400 LION for the Ignition (1) Smart-fly EQ-10 (1) Smart-Fly Turbo Reg (1) ED optic kill switch 32 oz Dubro tank 3W106b2 on Pefa Cans Mejlik 28x10 Tru-turn spinner (4") AW grapite tailwheel Dubro 4in Lite wheels glassing the hatch DSC00146.JPG

Wait till you see the new 260. That will be a cleaner setup. I hate rat nest planes. Makes trouble shooting to hard and it looks bad

Well I had to take a break from the P-47 due to some parts I need on the wing. I started the covering of my 260. I got the Stabs and Rudder done. I'm repairing the wings also from the gear pants going through them on a crash. They will be ready to cover in a day or two.

sorry to hijack the thread...... Here are some pics of the work on my 260 so far. Hope this helps you out. I have to wait to do the other wing until after I do the fuse so I can see how much more covering I need. This was done in Ultracote because it matches the cowl. Fuse is going to be exactly like the cowl. The hatch has been fiberglassed and the canopy has been glued down and is flush (no seam) with the hatch. Needs a little more sanding before it'll be ready for paint. DSC00535.JPG DSC00536.JPG DSC00538.JPG DSC00537.JPG

guys, if these are AW 35% 260's watch the weight and the placement of batteries. I run a DA100 on KS canisters and was having an issue with being slightly nose heavy. I built a battery tray up under the turtledeck and mounted my main batteries there, they sat high in the fuse and while flying I noted it caused some wierd rotational pull causing it to roll really strange. Moved the batteries back beside the rudder servos (stock location) and all is well...removed the tray I built and got back to where I was previously. Also use as much rudder as you can get from the bevels on the rudder/vstab...JR 3.5 Arms work great...CF wing Tube, stab tubes and Landing gear to help keep weight down too! love the way it flies, will do both IMACc and 3D really well!

Never had a problem with weight (this is my 2nd one of these). I had to add 2oz of weight to the tailwheel with the cans last time so this time I just put the servos in the tail instead. I never noticed any weird rotational items. I had all stock on the last one and this one is all stock except I got the CF wingtube (freebie from a friend).
