That package deal that Wildhare has going on right now is pretty sweet. A 33% Edge with all the goodies and a 3w 80 for around 2200. Assemble, add RX and fly. It would blow away a 50cc plane. Check the Wildhare website for details.

I would guess that the bme 55 is in the same area as the da for power maybe a smidge more. If as advertised the reason people are not likeing it is they wont be able to balance there planes with a pound out of the nose. I am ready to take that chalenge but thats for another thread.

any thoughts on this plane and the Moki 210?

Flatlandman · 07-12-2006, 02:41 AM

i bet it would fly excellent with the motor but then you have the probs of glow fuel and dam if the OMP fusion wasnt so dam good a plane i wouldnt have any more glow planes hehe

Would rather have a 85in Yak, QQ, BME Aeroworks or the like with a DA 50 or 3W 50, but the H9-260 and Moki 210 will cost me the same as the QQ 85in yak, before adding a motor.
So the 260 and 210 looks like a good compromise for the mean time.
( Would rather have a 40% with DA 150 but who says you cant dream?)

I HAVE ONE AND I HAVE A SATIO 180 ON IT AND MAN SHE WILL FLY LIKE A BAT OF OF HELL AND AS FAR A DEAD STICKS IT HAPPINS BUT SHE WILL GLIDE WELL AND THE PLANE IS VERY LITE

Benji · 07-23-2006, 10:41 PM

Isnt it too small? I have the qq yak 50cc plane is awesome and not that small. is alot bigger.

Although I did sell it after 9 or 10 flights to get an Aeroworks QB yak the H9 E-260 is a great flying airplane. just get rid of the stock C/F L/G and put the C/F L/G from Troy Built Models. and stick moki 2.10 on it and fly it like you stole it. as far as dead stick landings I had a few while the engine was breaking in and it was an easy glide to a 3 pointer.
