I had the PAU 36% Edge and I can say it flys very well. Very large wings and real floaty feeling. I've had TOC yaks and loved them, but havent had the chance to fly the 260. Best of luck with the one you choose.

Although I found your selection limited for my taste, I went with the PAU. Good planes.

I would say buy the Edge because TT is going to discontinue the 260. Look for Dino69's build thread on here. He has the new version it is a 107 incher, this one that you linked us to is a 102 inch, therefore it is the old one. I say go with the plane that you will be able to get parts for. No i am not bashing TT. I own two of their planes and many helis! And have 2 friends who are sponsored by them. I have nothing bad to say bout them, but i am just saying you should go with PAU because you will probably be able to get parts easier for it. Or you can wait for the new 107 inch version to come out! That would be worth the wait! Good luck with the decision. Have Fun. Take Care!

Good information about the 102" being discontinued.. I definatley like the option of having parts

You couldn't tell by the graphic? I was trying to stay within the two published choices. If I thought it was fair dinkum to start throwing around names and kits I would have made a different call.

Hey Doc.....the PAU looks real sweet. The way you were tossing that EF Yak at J'ville why dont you just get the 110" EF Yak. You could have matching Yaks.

I just put mine on mufflers today and finally got rid of the tuned pipes and all I can say is WOW. I have been missing a lot of this planes capability with those peaky pipes.

One other thing is that you could save on shipping by going over to EF and picking it up.
