H9 Extra 260 maiden flight, yeeeaahhhhhh

[hipollito]

yeah I had that problem with the sticker, what I did is simple, just paste the sticker and start cutting off the things you don´t need so you will have spaces where the wood shows and the sticker where the istrument dials are, you apply the glue on the wood to paste it on the fuse, and thats it!!!!

What do you want to know?
Running mine on a moki 2.1 .I seem to be having a problem keeping the surfaces true and straight. I removed the warps by shrinking the covering but it was difficult to keep everything straight over a hot summer. The plane is capable of everything. It fly's very well and if I didn't already have a moki at the time I would have gone with the 45.
With the slight warps in everything mine wing rocks pretty good and waterfalls are a bitch. I have got the cg right and coupling is minimal. Blenders are quite violent. Rolling maneuvers are nice.
Like I said, it is a great plane for it's size
Sorry I don't have a video camera or I would post some crappy flying skills

Get the graphtech landing gear, It is top quality and way stronger than the H9 gear mine had started the delamination I glued and clamped it and it was great till I had my first hard landing in a nice 20 minute south Texas wind storm. Mine broke at the bend just under the fuse and cost me a prop and a scraped wing tip, luckily the plane was fine and after seeing the difference in the gear I can say for 59.00 the graphtech stuff is the way to go, plus it looks better. Mine has a DA50 and Menz 23x8 prop and it flies very well.

Hey guys tested mine on Sunday, and more sorties today, easily the best plane Ive flown or owned. So good I took a day off today just to fly it.

Using an OS 160, wieghs just under 13 lb, plenty of power out here even tho we have a density alt aroud 3000 foot. Would love to fly it at sea level, on a cold day. Its hot out here in the desert well over 100+.
