Default My new 42% Dalton 260
Just thought I would share a few pics of my new ride for 2006. If the weather ever improves here in Ohio I may get to fly it. Tony Russo framed the plane up and I finished it out. Tony did a beautiful job.

Specifics:
DA-150
MTW 110 cans
Futaba 9152's (2 x aileron, 1 x elevator, 2 x rudder)
Sure-Link servo arms
Fromeco LiIons and Regulators + 2 Badger switches
Monokote and DuPont ChromaBase paint
DieHard Graphics

See you guys on the IMAC circuit this summer!

Ken

Ken.

Tony surely done a nice job framing it up but dont spare the Kudos for yourself or whoever finished that off. That is one of the prettiest 260's I 've seen in a long time.

10 points Sir for that one. Man I bet your waiting impatiently for a decent day to get it up in the air. More pics etc will be expected of course.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I can't wait to fly it for sure. The weather around here has been pretty bad, and I've got a baby due any day, so it may be a while before it gets air. I'll post for sure when I get some airtime.

JeeUm, if you are referring to the black pinstriping between the red and yellow - it is just 1/8" wide black pinstriping tape. I got it from Bart at DieHard graphics. Easy to apply, just takes a while!

Yes, Frank Versteegh flies an Extra 300L with this scheme. He flies in the Red Bull air races among other things. I believe his sponsorship with Toyota has changed, but I used to tow my planes with a Toyota SUV, so I kind of stuck with it.

His website has some cool photos and videos:

This is my 3rd Extra with the scheme. It shows up extremely well and because it lacks straight lines, it is actually easier to pull off than most other schemes.
