Ok Rennie, more pics.
Again, Matt Balazs of Evil RC is is completing this plane. This is the 42% Dalton 260 that Russo donated for the first Atlanta Huckfest. The winner and I traded and I wound up with it. Russo framed and sheeted it and I believe it is the last one from his Florida shop. After I got it home, it is such a nice airplane that I decided to have someone with some mad skillz complete it! I saw Matts' 260 at the Nall and liked his work. I dropped the 'bones' off with Matt he sends me these photos,,
It will be ready for FOF and probably Atlanta.

I'd guess something electrical. I'm gonna bring it in the house and see if I can fiqure it out. Of course parts were everywhere. We load tested the batterys after the crash and they all checked good. We plugged one of them into the regulator and the recievers bound to the transmitter.So I'll have to check further.
When is your dad gonna have the edge finished up?Tony sent me a picture it looks good framed up. How long do you think it'll take him to get it covered? I wouldn't try and match the scheme. I'd let him paint it like it was tearing in half.

Almost forgot to say that Dalton looks great. There is alot to be said for a one of a kind blood,sweat and tears kit. When my little Yak went in yesterday it could have been worse. It could have been a Dalton. I guess you fly what you can afford and when Chris gets his next container I'll have an EF extra headed my way.
I've got much respect for all guys who build those high end planes. They definately are worth every penny.

Devan, I think you could cover the center and have it torn on the frt and rear. The way you rip around with smoke on it might not be that noticable. It looks like it wouldn't take much more to get it in the air.

Here's my pancake from Saturday's altercation with some power lines and being half awake. Nobody had any Aunt Jemima at the field but I still had a smile. The fuse is already repaired and waiting on finishing and covering. Now if I can find some 32mm wing tubing for cheap. Maybe someone can photoshop a bottle of Aunt Jemima in, LOL
