Default H9 35% Extra 260 build thread. Anyone interested

Just recieved my new 35% 260 from H9 on tuesday the 16th. I cant recvall anyone doing a build report on this plane yet, so, I was wondering if anyone is interested in me doing a build thread of this plane. I have never really done a build thread before, but i would if there is any general interest, i would like to share my findings and hear others opinions. I can post pics from start to finish. I will be using a BME 110 with mtw 110 cans. Futaba radio and hopefully the new futaba brushless digital servos throughout. If i can find some. There is really not much work required with this plane as it comes very complete and mostly assembled out of the box. I will take some pics of it out of the box to show closeups of the inside and the other details you dont see from the stock pictures. The box was huge that the fuse came in. 7 feet or longer. Typical wing box arrangment. The fuse box was nicley upgraded over the boxes of H9 33%'s of years past. Foam and wood lined just to name two. If your interested please let me know. If there is not any interest i wont bother.

sleepy did a thread but go for it. another build may bring new ideas even though there is not much to do on this kit. i have mine on the table waiting for some parts but i shouldn't take long to build with everything Hanger9 has done for us.

did yours have a spinner in the box? i thought it came with a purple spinner but there wasn't one with mine.

Mine did not come with a spinner. I dont remember reading about it haveing one. It looks cool in purple though. Somthing different. Also i am trying to locate (8) new Futaba BLS351 servos. (brushless). If anyone knows of a source for these please throw me a bone. Ok, Since i have had response to show this build i will get some pics hopefully here tomarrow. So far i have emptied the boxes, and bolted up the landing gear. This plane has lots of room inside to work around. This is also by the way my first plane of this size. I have flown 33% but this plane is huge next to my 33%'s. I think im going to need a bigger truck!
