My DA is doing 6900 out of the box with the Vess 23B and the KS1060.
So was my DL on the first gallon .

It's a little better now, I need to re-tach it.

Remember it only keeps on getting better with a little patience. My old EF 74" Yak had the Evolution 35gt upfront and it ran like crude for the first gallon then it ran awesome until I started running into ignition problems. I will get another EF Yak 74" as a backup plane the only thing that I have right now is my EF 47" Yak and my 88" Yak.

No way, I already paid my dues for that, we stayed up til 4am building a new one. The Krill will only fly strait lines for now, or until I can get a back-up.

I like the 110" too. But the dalton is a kit and I'd rather have my plane in my own scheme. Plus I just wana build one. I LOVE the way they both fly.

Have you actually had the chance to fly both of these models, if not I would recommend doing so, this way you dont end up with something you dont like. Watching them and Flying them are 2 totally different things. get your thumbs on one first and It will only help you in the end. Personally I feel the 260 would be the better choice, its a great IMAC bird and also an exceptional freestyle bird. I dont know about the yak, Ive flown the Dalton 260 but not the 110 yak except for Jimmy's at our field which happend to be a Carden. great plane, snaps are GREAT! and hovers AWESOME!! and Does harrier rolls like no other.

Didn't you almost buy a 40%er 260. So it's not so biased..
