Default DR Hobbies 2.6M Extra

Well after about a year in the building... I got her done today. Found some killer vinyl, and got it stuck here and there. Was hoping to fly tomorrow, but got family coming in from out of town.. maybe next week. Anyhow, just had to post my super bad- pictures.

Canardman,

Would you be so kind to take some photos of inside the fuse and post them? Trying to get some ideas on placement of things. Thanks in advance

Jason

Love the lines on the DR 300's. I don't know but maybe they are a little closer to scale than some others ?

Both planes look really clean, thanks for the pics. Todd, do you know of any extra's this size running tuned pipes? If so I would love to see their set up.
