40% Pilot RC Extra 260

[Vic3D]

Anyone flying this yet??? Trying to get some info on this plane. If it flies nearly as aggressive as the 100cc it should be a winner!

I've flown the 40% 300 and it is pretty awesome I'm sure the 260 will be great also.

According to Tony, I just ordered the 2nd one for delivery to the USA. I should have it in about a month.
I'm really looking forward to it.

I am very interested in your final config and the results. I am getting ready to launch a 170 with 12,5" headers , KS 95s and a /Biela 3D in my new Pilot Extra 300. Mid range is the key factor and so far I have not seen or heard about a solid 3D set up with canisters.

JC, I'm sticking with my own combo. 10.5" header with KS95 rear dump cans with the 7/8" crossover pipe. The only thing I'm not real happy with is the new Smog version 170. I mean they tamed it down alot to smooth it out and make it less volitol and less likley to have gasket issues. I have seen a major power loss since. Mine is about as smooth a transition as Cowl mufflers. Going to a longer header with (CANISTERS) will reduce top end power. The 14" header Idea has been discussed and tested by a very smart man named Reza for the use of the RE-3 (PIPES). I know of no one using the 14" combo with the KS95. I'm 1000% sure people are, I just don't know anyone.

If so, where did you end up with the CG?

Tony told me to put the CG at the rear of the wing tube, but that doesn't look right because that is about 1/2 way back on the wing. Also, it would take over 1 lb of weight in the tail to get it to balance at the rear of the wing tube, so I hope that's not the correct CG..

I just noticed that the plane balances out fine at the front of the wing tube, and this looks like it's where it should be in relation to the wing too, so I'm thinking this is probably about where the CG should be, but could someone please verify this for me?

Thanks, Jim

Nobody's flying this plane?
