Default Test Flew TMPRO Extra 260 Today

Today a storm came in around 1:00 so no taking the trailer out to fly the big planes. Well around 6:00 the weather was perfect. No wind. Just as calm as it can be. So I loaded up my new TMPRO Extra 260 profile in the truck and took off to the flying field. Got the plane together and fired up the motor which has not been run in about 6 months and it started right up. It is a OS 40fx. Took the plane off and man was it a sweet flying airplane. Only problem was I had the wrong prop on there!!! Not sure what I had it was w/e was on the motor to start with. This motor is around 6-8 years old and still runs like new. With the wrong prop on there it hovered great just the prop was "cutting through the air a lot" The plane harrier great also and performs the tightest knife edge loops. The plane also did things that there are not names for lol. Over all this is a great flying plane so far. I flew it two times today and pack up and went home. Hopefully be able to fly it more tomorrow. Going to change props before I go tomorrow though.
