Pilot RC 100cc Extra 260 Build Thread

[sweetpea]

So if they had the engine already, why didn't the motor box come complete?

Are there baffles for the engine on the cowl already?

BW it is crazy. Seriously this shipped the 27th (about 10 days after my design was finalised), and I got it the 1st. 4 DAYS! I know you are a weight junkine, this thing seems well built, and seems super light. It is big too, bigger than most similar to the H9 in size. Not going to rush it but should have it RTF in a few weeks. I am such a perfectionist I was STRESSING about the quality never having seen one. IT IS TOP SHELF so far.EDIT SHIPPING WAS FREE BW

More purple......sorry not for me. I know a guy who has a all purple plane at my field who must be swinging for the other team. He rolls in rainbow tee shirts and flys jets too. He scares me. 871

If they keep this up they will sell a bunch of planes! Looks really nice! How about weighing all of the parts for the airframe for us.

Sorry gonna focus on building it first, I will weigh it when I am done. I will take a pic of the inside of the fuse, just clean with minimal ply. It should be light, especially with my setup going in....871

[bodywerks]

What setup is that?

[StPeteFlyer]

Its looking good! Im interested in how it turns out, I have been looking at the 260 and you can't beat the price they are offering it at.

He is giving me a well deserved hard time. He had an all purple plane that could not handle the daily barney jokes, and sadly the plane committed suicide 20' above the runway!

Actually, I had asked you a while back in regards to the 9100 rx, and switch!

9100 rx with smartfly pin switch
2 2300 a123
1 1100 a123
1 8711 rudder
DL100 (gonna at least Try it) stock mufflers
Kavans
Aluminum bolts/ hardware

Wings done. 18inch extention and a y conn. The horns are really easy to epoxy in place too. servo mounts wicked with CA and pilot holes drilled

[Show871]

Got some custom hardware bling for my servo mounting and rods. Matches the servo horn.......CLEAN!

[Show871]

These clips are the best design I have seen. And they come with the kit! Good because the stay away from the actual wires of the servo. There are some out there that look nice, but when I pulled a servo after the summer, It was digging in to the wires a little bit

Ninja trick on installing the blind nuts. I read others crying about this, it took me 5 min! I think it is smart of them not to install them because if you choose to use other gear, you dont have swiss cheese for your tail block

[Show871]

The tailgear has really nice molded carbon, but i found the rudder wire a tad flimsy. I see why they need it for the removable rudder, but the wire is not stout enough IMO. Very minor! If I installed this wrong please speak up!!!!!
