Not bad for 122" span! I still have stock tubes. Like I said it's almost 2 years old, but you would never know it. I can pull it out and it looks like the day I purchased it still. I love this plane, and would own another in a second if need be. It is flys on rails, and 3d's great. I think this plane has been a sleeper and no one was willing to bite the bullet. Now the word is starting to get out on it. You really should check one out!
I'm really looking at the 260 hard right now, does yours have the counter weighted elevators? I've seen a post that they may be coming out with that soon, I would like to have that on mine, I have looked at Cheif aircrafts website but I can't find a manual to see if the new one's have the counter weighted elevators, do you know anything about that? I'm also looking at the TT 40% Yak but on cheifs website it says its 52lbs just wondering if thats a misprint?
