I have owned both. I just sold my 3M Extra 260. Both fly really well, but the SX flies 3D better and I like the profile more. I started competing IMAC last year and my flying performance is about the same on both planes.

Looks like you went with the 260. You'll be very happy with it. This question is analogous to "what sport bike should I buy". The one you like the looks of better.

so what made you sell your 260?

OIC>.........................WWWOOOOOOOOO HHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO...

I got the 3m yellow kiwi. And you are correct, it will not fit under the tree. The most difficult part of the shippment is trying to puch it in the garage. Its super big, whent I saw it I thought I made a mistake and ordered the 3.3 yak.

eagle1 · 11-17-2007, 02:18 PM

Extra260 · 11-17-2007, 03:45 PM

Thats my job after you make such a big purchase. Comp arfs are so exspensive that you better be super excited.

eagle1 · 11-17-2007, 04:16 PM

I spent 4400 yesterday on the plane, prop and the motor.

I bought mine with greves pipes when I saw the invoice I thought of how scared I will be when it is time do the maiden. It took me all last summer and school year to pay for it. Now I am pretty much done and all I need is a spinner.

No need for a 4 servo SWB tray. 3 will be more then enough and save a bit of coin to.
