Re: Composite-ARF Extra 260 3m Build

sorry no more updates on the plane, I have not flown since march of last year, I bought a bass boat and fell in love with fishing again, this plane along with everything else I own for this hobby is up for sale
although I do love flying this plane very solid almost like my 330l 3m extra

You will hate you got rid of the stuff,, you might not miss it this year or the next but you will regret it one day, and it will cost you double to get back in it,, I have seen this a million times,, Goodluck,

Re: Composite-ARF Extra 260 3m Build

After a yr and a half I am going to take this plane out of the dust, clean her up, fill her up, and see if I can still fly the 260, first things first I need to replace the throttle servo, then I am going to make sure all read 3 when at center, then double check everything before flying, just a side note, I have not charged the lith-ion batteries in the same length of time , turned them on yest, both are above 7.99 volts, I might even run some oil through the smoke system for the first time just to see it happen, I will let you guys and gals know how it went

jongurley you knew it would come to this, you know I couldnt keep it in the dust for long huh?
I dont want to get out but I do have too many hobbies, me and my wife got into salt water aquiriums as well, think giant scale eats cash? try a salt water reef tank, in a 56 gal tank I can build a 2.6 composite plane.

Re: Composite-ARF Extra 260 3m Build

I have seen daltons in actiion, they look very solid and might I say they do 3D extremely well, good luck on the Dalton, let me know when you get one, I am looking into the beast, I'm not sure if I want one but they look pretty good, of course when QQ is flying them they all look solid. I want a big bilane for sure, the S-12 is going to be exspensive with the DA-200 at the front, the DA-120 seems to be a monster on the Beast, I havent had a wooden plane in 4 yrs

Re: Composite-ARF Extra 260 3m Build

OK, flights 16 and 17 in the books, changed the throttle servo and made all the difference on responce, only bad thing happened today is that I blew off my vent hood on the toy hauler, I was going to check out the smoker but I need to fly a couple more times closer together to get rid of the shacks I had while flying, been a 1yr 8 mo since I flew, antenna was whipping around like a palm tree in a hurricane, I needed 4 inches of foam to put between my knees as bad as I was shacking, It has been too long since I have flown, hovering and harrier was much easier with the faster servo, now I just need to set the servo for propper throw and make it a little softer for hover

Re: Composite-ARF Extra 260 3m Build

I mounted my rudder servos similar...I purchased my airframe 2nd hand yet it had a DA170 - cans, and I converted to DA150 - pipes. I cut out the stock rudder mounts from the floor and mounted them up above the pipes My pipe mounts that I made ended up hiding the glue marks from where the rudder servos were. Have a self adjusting setup - simple and light

Had some time on my hands and ended up hiding most of the wiring throughout the airframe with clips under the side rails too

Re: Composite-ARF Extra 260 3m Build

Do these planes come out at less than 40 pounds if you don't put half a hobby shop in them?
Anyone has some weight figures?

Agreed that blue yellow and orange scheme is great!
