Mate that thing looks like a winner. I have two 40% on order and 2 x 35% on order. Looks like they are the bees knees mate.

Take it easy Elie, they are just toy planes.

And for you guys who havent meet Craig or Elie and the crew from the hill, the reason for the torque roll on maiden take off is to shake all the loose stuff into the tail so it doesnt get sucked into the engine. You know sawdust, balsa dust, a few leftover screws and bits of wire from making servo leads fit.

Just kidding Craig, I think you put that one together very nicely.

I was a professional photographer today, that airplane got my attention.
I was very impressed. Talking about leaking, maybe at the Huckfest.

No issue with the wings on this model Dennis. That was only on a select few 37.5% Yaks. Instead of getting new wings for mine, I just took 15 mins, two small pieces of 1/4" ply, and made the upgrade myself on my Yak. I had developed a small crack in the root rib of one of mine, but then I have been beating the crap out of mine.

Craig, the 260 looks great. Cant wait to see it in person. I ended up spending the weekend at Salem practicing IMAC. Hopefully get to see that thing in action in the 3 weeks or so, after I get back from the IMAC next weekend and the Huckfest after that.

I'm thinking about picking one of these planes up..... How are they compared to the other brand 260's. Not a bad price at all. If it flies anything like my 35% SD Yak then I'm sure I'll be happy with it.
Please post your feedback.

Thanks

Shawn

Just finish unpacking my blue one, man this thing is a beauty..... I like my 35% Yak but I already know that I am going love the way this plane flies. The blue pictures on the TBM just don't do it any justice.

Later,
