I was wondering which one is best for 3D and Imac.

-3m extra 260?

-3m extra 330?

-3.1m super Xtra?

-3.3m yak 55?

I sure wish I had your money when I was 14.
I have the 3.1 SX and its just OK for both.
If you want the best of the best...go for the 3.3 Yak with a ZDZ210 & cans.
Cant go wrong.

TonyThomasian · 05-25-2006, 09:53 PM

3.3m is too much money. I know i will get that plane later though. I realy want to know how the 260 3D's though.?.?.?

BTW: my dad buys me all the planes and equipt for me. He's into the hobby too and he flies, so he doesnt mind buying me stuff related to rc planes.

the new comp arf 260 is one of the best flying planes i have ever flown. I had a 3.0 330 about 2 years ago, it couldent touch my new 260. i set my plane up for IMAC, so on high rates i get maybe 25 degrees of elevator, still the plane 3d's un real. upright and invert harriers are so stable, also hovering the plane dosent take as much up elevator as my 330 did. this is one of the best planes comp arf has built

i used all the stock hardware that came with the kit. just put it together by the book and it balanced just where they said it would.

call and talk to darcy at troy built models, he can also tell you alot about the 260

TonyThomasian · 05-25-2006, 11:31 PM

So the 260 will 3D very good too? How does it harrier roll?

talk to a rep bro

DarcyWingo · 05-26-2006, 12:05 AM

I agree my C-Arf 260 is one of the best planes to date! I loved my 330's as well...the 260 flys very light, mine came in right at 37.4 lb.

Kody · 05-26-2006, 12:05 AM

Give Jason Shulman a ring... He is one of the reps.

taco · 05-26-2006, 12:42 AM

i prefer the 260 because i have it but that is a biased opinion.

TonyThomasian · 05-26-2006, 12:52 AM

sweet!

Just curious, but what do you like and do not like about the SX? (Just asking because I am thinking of one for a future project) I have some time on a SX, and I found it to be the most precise airplane I have flown to date. I really wanted to try a full spectrum of maneuvers with it to see how it would perform, but I just got caught up doing some IMAC figures each time, haha. It seemed to me like it snapped nicely, but then again, I did not know then what I know now about precision. Seemed to be very predictable no matter what I did, and tracked very straight with no trim changes through all speeds. Good constant roll rate and very axial rolls also.

Thanks,
Brandon

Comp Arfs 44% Giles. Just like flying a giant pattern plane.
