I was just browsing on Horizon's site and saw a new 260....At $110 I'm going to have to get one of these for sure.

Awe yeah... I had been hearing about it....
Certainly priced right...

**Cracky** · 04-04-2007, 11:54 AM

The only thing thats bad about it is that its due out in June

GremlinX · 04-04-2007, 12:14 PM

Ha.... we spend more time waiting in this hobby than any other hobby....LOL

Jaybird · 04-04-2007, 05:33 PM

Sweet scheme! Always loved that one on David Paynes planes.

GremlinX · 04-04-2007, 09:26 PM

Clever how they hold the wing to the fuse...
Look on their web, they have 12 pics total...

I hope it dosn't fly like there Edge. I did everything to get the plane to fly light and handle well. After flying it in the night hours at nall last year and being told yeah" I took mine after a couple of flights and got rid of it". Its now used as a ceiling hanger. E-Flights just don't see to fly as well as the other built up electrics available. Just my expierance and thoughs. I love some of e-flights foamies.

flybye · 04-04-2007, 10:54 PM

this things going to sooo fun. can't wait to get my hands on one.!

Yeah dude I agree with ya there, at least with regards to the Edge. I bought the Mini Edge when they first came out after seeing a vid of Kyle wringing it out. Just goes to show ya, that guy can fly anything.
On another note, I was at the Fliton shop last week and Edson showed me the new Extra 260 they're coming out with soon, next month I believe. It's about the same size as this E-flight and looks SWEET. Can't wait to hear how both planes fly.

**Cracky** · 04-04-2007, 11:34 PM

I just saw the Fliton's 260 on HH's site too. I think it said Mid May on that.

bodywerks · 04-05-2007, 05:17 AM

Me likes, but I hope Fliton comes out with their's first. However, they are in two different categories, sizewise, so perhap's I'll have to have both, cuz this one sure do look purdy!

bodywerks · 04-05-2007, 05:18 AM

According to the specs, this should be a pretty light flyer, too!

Edge 540 · 04-05-2007, 09:11 AM

Do you think they are coming out with a Kantana next?

G3 gets a big yak.......H9 releases the 80" yak
G3 gets two little Tanas.....Eflite releases little Tana???

Neogenesis · 04-05-2007, 11:23 AM

I love the way they are holding the wings on. That was my biggest complaint about my funtana......so I just always left my wings on.

GremlinX · 04-05-2007, 03:46 PM

Yeah, that Edge was sad... glad I flew one first... It was pretty though. Now, as for the Fliton... their schemes don't do much for me. I think this one will be better... Lets hope. That Kyle did throw a hurtin on theat Edge ehh? I remember that.
