Default Will's old/Ron's new 260 starts its new life!!

Hi Guy's,
Will's old 260 is starting a new chapter in it's NC IMAC life. Ron came out too Wheeler today and we got her up and flying.....This 260 is sweet with the 1090's in it...and is one of the better snapping Carden's I have flown. Glad it stayed in our region, After 3 flight's Ron was flying it better than his H9 260....... Congrat's Ron, and Will she went to a good home no 3D in this baby's future!!!!!

Dom

It was a beautiful day for flying today. Dom & Lew helped me maiden the "new" plane. I appreciate your time and input on the setup. The plane is smooth as silk. I hope that I can do it justice. Thanks Dom & Lew

Ron

Chris,

I originally planned to go slow and fly the plane at regionals or even wait until next season..... But it flies great, no reason to wait. I'll have it with me at Effingham.

See ya' there.

Jim,

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm just trying to move up to the middle-third of the Sportsman pack.

Sorry to see you won't be here for the regionals...you were missed this season. See you at the Chicken Wing!! Stay warm in the Great White North

Ron
