Hi Cristian,

I am assuming you are talking about the 2.6M planes? Since the 260 is brand new, no one has a report on one. But if it flies like it's big brother, no one will be disappointed. The 300SX has been out a while, and I believe there is a thread here somewhere, so you can read about it. Since it's a revised 330L, I can assume that it will fly well. I think what you could base your decision on is which of the two designs you would prefer to look at on the ground and in the air. I'd bet flying characteristics are going to be pretty much the same.

Either plane should fly very well. I have the 2.6m 330L, and it's just a blast to fly. Very quick, very precise, very much fun.

But, for IMAC, the 260 will probably beat out the 330 series planes due to it's mid-wing design, that just plane rolls much better. No barrelling, hardly any differential, and a lot less coupling. If you want to be the most precise possible, the 260 will be the better plane, if you are looking for a dual purpose IMAC/3D bird, the 330 will edge slightly ahead of the 260 as your choice.

I agree. You should just buy the plane that you think looks better. They are both comp arfs and will fly great. It will prob. be a little bit easier getting a 300sx because the 260 just came out.
