42% Dalton Extra 260 - Built by A.J. Lee
Well guys here we are again, Its time for a new bird and I decided to make it a Dalton 42% Extra 260. My job has kept me on the road for some time now, so if I wanted to fly this new plane any time soon it would have to be built by some one else other than me. Natually I called the man himself Tony Russo and as you all know he has less time than me. However he was quik to tell me about A.J. Lee from Midland TX and I gave him a call. After talking to A.J. it was obvious that he was the right man for the job.
A.J. is a good guy that loves to talk about planes, so he put me in line behind the raffle plane he was building for TAS. I still dont understand why Tony gets to go before me...  just kidding Mr. Russo- Well he finished the raffle plane this week for the TAS (Tony will cover/ paint) So lets get to it and start with the set up Dalton 42% Extra 260 DA-170 MTW RE3 tuned pipes/ 14" headers Fromeco 5200 Li-ons x 2 JR 1222 receiver 8711HV servos 2 x wing / 2 x rudder / 1 per elevator / 1 on choke 8717HV on the throttle 5" Tru Turn spinner (painted to match cowling) 29 x 12N 3 blade prop Mejzlik Switches will be a custom made pin and flag the guys at Fromeco are making ( I dont know yet) no regs on this ship. The colors will be Apple Green - White and Black from Ultracoat. The picture below is the basic scheme we will use and the graphics are pretty close as well. A.J. will be e-mailing me pics of the build and I will post them here. And I all ready wish it was done
