Default Re: Extra 260 of Hangar 9

I had one it flew great for about the first 10 Minuets. Then the aileron link failed and the plane went in. The link that failed is the one that screws onto the control horn screw that goes through the control surface. The supplied screws that come with them are too short. Save your self some trouble and replace them with longer screws and a lock nut on the outside. I had mine set up with a DA 50, Menz 22-8 prop, Hi-tec 5945's all around except the throttle and choke. If you use the DA 50 make sure that you use the back position for the rudder servo, that will make the plane much easier to balance. Without a spinner on it it balanced without any added weight. My spinner was not in yet. I would have been able to balance with the spinner, by just moving my receiver back.

Hope this helps.
