Pilot RC Extra 260 vs 300

[Deveus]

I got some more money than I expected so I've decided to buy a 35% plane. I was thinking Pilot RC, but I don't know which one. Extra 260 or Extra 300. Please tell me some comparison between two of those. Which one is better for 3D and smoother. Thx

Thats a hard question to answer. I lightened my 35% Pilot and I can tell you, its a floater. Rock solid in harriers and does what you tell it. Not sure about the 300, but I bet there very similar since they look like almost the same frame, but different hatch, canopy, bla bla bla.......just buy what looks best for you and you will be happy with Pilot.

To many 260s get the 300

i was turned off by the elve, no counter balance on the 260. looking at the pictures of the 260 some show with and without a counterbalance, so i'm not sure if the 100cc version has em or not. the 300 is a bit bigger, more wing area.
i like the looks of the longer canopy on the 300's, the 260 is shorter. 300 gets my vote.

260?



300?




but have you seen the
100cc Sbach 342

Only problem I'm having with the 300 is the wings rock in harriers. I'm going to start playing around with spoilerons to see if that helps

Thats discouraging in a plane that size

Spoilerons are not goin to help and are gay.

If the Sbach 342 is included in this choice it's the one I would take just because it's bad ass.

Built and flown a few of the 300s and they are awesome for 3D. The 260 as already mentioned in this thread has no counter ballances, this kinda sucks for "flip flop" type 3D moves. I installed 5" ones on my last 40%260 TT TOC and wow! what a differance. IMO you can't go wrong with the 300 for 3D. My 2 cents.

Thx guys for helping. I bought 260 because Lindinger.at doesn't have any 300 in stock, and I must wait 4 months for it because I'm from Croatia. I think i didn't go wrong!

[Scags]

your right you didn't go wrong. You would have enjoyed either one. Post pics in the repository

They make for AWESOME elevators (?)....Josh had his 3DHS 103" dropping almost straight down.

Still gay

[nate428]

lol, i agree with t. bob

[Scags]

anyone have any suggestions how to solve it? It calmed down when i went from a 27B to a 28A. I've taken the 28A off and put a JXF 28x8 P tip to see if it helps any. Any help would be appreciated.

My Extra 260 35% has a counter balance on the rudder and elevator stabs. I would be very surprised if yours didn't unless you managed to find a reseller with one of the early models.
