You can get this plane with motor speed controller and lipo in a combo package. Or you can get all the stuff required in another combo package. Prices coming soon.

Default Re: NEW!!! Extra 260 Electric

look at one of its nicer features.
A floating wing system, the wing can be moved back and forth with only the thumb screw, so CG can be changed according to flying skills or to the wish whether precision or 3D flight...

one of the ones who carry those now is : unitedhobbies.com
and price is very atrective there as well...

Here is a test flight video of this plane. To me the plane flew very well. I just had some issues with the 2.4 system I had in it and for some reason it went into lockout and hit the ground. It is not in this video. It didnt damage the plane at all. Just broke the motor mount which was easy to fix.

I flew the plane last Sunday and was not flown in a while and for some odd reason after the flight the lipo battery started to swell badly. So far I am just not having good luck with electrics and have not been able to really test this plane out. The flight sunday was a lot better though. The plane is stabled in hovers and rollin harriers were okay. The plane flies a inverted harrier better than an up right. Knife Edge is not too bad. could use a hair of mixing.

Here are my ratings for the plane.
Package: 10/10
Airframe: 9.5/10
Building: 9/10
Hardware: 8/10
3D Flight: 9.5/10
Precision Flight: 9/10.
Overall Flying: 9.5/10
Overall Score: 9.2

Pros: Sliding Wing System, Magnet Held Canopy, Gas or Electric Motor Mount, Well Built Airframe.
Cons: Could be better hardware, Axles were not long enough for wheel pants.
