Just want to find out if anyone has any information regarding Hanger9 27% Extra 260 ARF with a DA-50 installed. I have been looking at this model but I would like to get some feedback about this model what are it's good and bad points. Sorry I meant Hanger9 27% Extra 260 ARF

**TheTank** · 01-27-2006, 07:42 AM

GP or the Hanger 9 one? I didnt know Great Planes came out with a 260. If you mean the H9 one, its ballistic with a DA 50. Big time power.

SleepyC · 01-27-2006, 07:50 AM

Eric from B&E graphix said his was AWSOME with a zdz40, lighter wing loading.

I own one with DA50. Weighs 14.2 with spinner and prop RTF. Awesome plane! Flys as good as a plane this size can. very little coupling in knfie edges, means no mix required at all. Fastes roll rate that you can imagine in high rates. You can hover it below half throttle and pull unlimited vertical with 3/4 throttle. Ask any questions that you may have. Here's a video www.gholamipour.com/rcplanes click on the one says Extra 260.

By the way, it comes with great hardware not the throw away stuff. For the price you can not find a better plane! Only thing is CF landing gear is weak and you have to grease it all the time or when you see delamination just open it up and use thin CA in between the plies it will hold a lot stronger. If you bought one and needed custom graphics, let me know. I can make a good deal.

Thanks mate, what you have done with your Extra 260 is what I am looking for, I will go and download some of the videos from the website you mentioned.
Did the spinner come with the kit or did you have to buy it. Also did you use the canister style muffler of the in cowl pitts muffler. Just want to know if the inside of the fuse gets too much heat from the canister style muffler?

Anymore questions I will let you know, thanks guys for your time Cheers

Reza · 01-28-2006, 12:36 AM

I used Pitts Style muffler. It's tru-turn spinner. The kit comes with all the hardware but spinner and switches. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

marpman · 01-28-2006, 01:12 AM

Checked out your video that is a nice looking plane on the ground and it presents itself well in the air.
Like you mentioned it has plenty of power with the DA-50 installed. Looks like the spare DA-50 and in cowl pitts muffler on the bench will have a new home in Extra 260

What size is the spinner, is about 3 1/4" in diameter?
What size prop are you using?

This plane is something to fly till I get my CompArf 3m in the air.

Huckin' it · 01-28-2006, 09:58 AM

Me and my dad have one and were powering ours with a DA 50. Its unreal!!!! Tons of power reserved.

LarryMagoo · 01-21-2007, 04:42 PM

Hey Reza,

I would like to verify the proper length of the Standoffs for the DA 50 install....2 7/8 or 3"

Also what kind of graphics do you offer?

Thanks ,

Larry

3D_Kid · 01-21-2007, 04:50 PM

uh.. dude change the title of this thread, there is no GreatPlanes Extra 260. Change it to Hangar9.

Jamonraz · 01-22-2007, 12:08 AM

hi i have just mounted my DA50 on this baby, flew it 4 times today and it's incredible even when my da is new and need to break-in.. it pulls the plane sooo good, i'm using a vess prop 23A.. and yeah you should get the 3" Standoffs..

hey REZA i would love to see your video, but the link is not working.. hope you can upload it somewhere else..

good luck

FlyguyXII · 01-22-2007, 11:28 AM

Get the H9 27% cap 232G it flies better and 3d's awesome

3D_Kid · 01-22-2007, 12:09 PM

If you can, try even a 33% Cap, bigger flys better for only a little more money.

Joshua Ziering · 01-31-2007, 11:54 PM

Hey,

I have this airplane, but it's electric. Don't let people talk you into anything else. This plane is great for precision when setup correctly. I've been 3Ding it for some time now. I would rather fly this than a Cap ANYDAY. Caps have low wings, coupling, etc. Mine has virtually no coupling, and flies excellent lines. Plus, extras are so bad ass.

How would this plane be with a Moki 2.10?
