Re: Baghdad invaded by Efite Extra 260 3D 480
Good news Chad I stopped by my local hobby shop , I spend a fair bit of money there and told him about the charger problem even though I didn't buy it from him and he gave me a new charger and I'll just give him the new one from Horizon when it gets here. I plugged it in this morning and it works perfect!

Chad here is one compact radio case and one compact set of wing bags and your carbon fiber spar acts as a handle!

Re: Baghdad invaded by Efite Extra 260 3D 480
Well, locked down a new field yesterday for when all this stuff arrives. Funny you'd mention UAV's cause its where they launch/recover them from.
Big open area full of nothing but gleaming concrete. Should be perfect. Surface is in good shape too so the undercarriage should fair well. Can't wait! |

The batteries are labled 1, 2, and 3 all charged up and ready to go as well as the transmitter battery . Don't forget to Rebind after programming the radio?
