SD/Aviation Model 40% Extra 260
Maybe someone can help me out. I purchased a 40% SD 260 a few months ago and was comtemplating on whether I should put this thing together? I haven't seen or read a whole lot about the way this plane flies so if any one has ever seen or owned one of these please give me your opinion about how this plane flies. Pics would also be good, so if you have some post them. Thanks
Shawn |

Re: SD/Aviation Model 40% Extra 260
Awesome flying plane. I have had mine for about 7 months now. I can not say a single bad thing about it. You can see my build here....
http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/f...ld-thread.html My weight came in at 41.6 with smoke tank and pump. I removed that and added carbon gear and wheel pants and now I am at 40.2 lbs. I was a little concerned myself because no one had one around here, but I like having somthing different than a yak! Put that baby togeather and enjoy it!

Re: SD/Aviation Model 40% Extra 260
You already have it, put it together and enjoy it. I am starting a thread on the SD 40% Yak and I think it is one of the best quality ARF's out there, plus you can't go wrong with a 260. Good luck with it and keep it light.....

Re: SD/Aviation Model 40% Extra 260
For those that are flying this plane with CF gear, how are they holding up? I hear there pretty stout compared to other brands.

Re: SD/Aviation Model 40% Extra 260
I have the SD carbon gear on mine and love it. Light and strong. Tons better compared to the graphtech! If you break this thing its your own fault! LOL
