TOC Extra 260 35% ( Model TTR4637 -01 )

[Dino69]

the 3w should be drop in which is nice to have a motor mounted solid or flush to the firewall with out stands , I would just measure it up all really good when you have the motor and plane in front of you but you should be good to go.

look this picture should be more than enough room

[rrunkel]

Yep, Cap to Cap, 11.95 should fit fine. Length will be good also.

Thanks again,

DR

rocky just text me and said with that motor the plane will be a Rocket

Sure wish I could get a ruler pic of the 33% cowl.

This IS the plane I have wanted for quite some time. But I have been looking to stuff a 100cc into the 33% for now. Maybe. Seems like the other $300 keeps postponing it into not happening.

When looking at the stats of each plane they are pretty close. But what we get has nothing to do with fuse width.

I would cut the cowl for plug caps if it sid not have to be a lot for the plug wire as well.

I wouldn't do it if you look at the weight the 100L is almost a pound heavier then the 85 plus the 33% you have to look at the wing load the plane will not fly right and the CG will be wacky you will need weight in the tail for sure just my two cents

[rrunkel]

Does this airframe have pre-hinged control surfaces??

[John Glezellis]

As I understand it, all new models from the latest shipment have pre-hinged control surfaces (with the only exception being the rudder), a pre-installed fuel tank, and lastly, fuel dot.

The 100cc Extra 260 flies very well. I first flew Dino's Extra at the Huckfest, and it has a similar feel at certain moments to my larger 40% model... Impressive airplane.

Make sure you offset the motor to the recommended right side(looking at the motor on the firewall) so when you add washers to the right side it will come back into the middle of the cowel. You may want to check with other owners to see if the washers are needed. I set up a 35% H9 Extra with the 3W-110 and did not offset the motor and now after adding washers to the right side(part of the trimming process to make the plane fly straight) I need to redrill the mounting bolts to the right to put the center of the prop back in the center of the cowel. Dino, maybe you can jump in here and respond to the washer plan. I hope you will be using cannisters as the stock mufflers on the 106 will zero your sound scores. I am using the 3W-M-55 cans and they are very quiet. I also fly Basic( I have done 2 contests, plan a full season next year) in Central Fl and may see you at Land-o-Lakes IMAC contest. Get that plane in the air and start practicing, January will be here in no time and good luck. Anything else I can help with the 3W just pm me I also have a 3W-106.

Guilty as charged, I do remember meeting you when you had a question about the 3W ignition. As Dino says the 3W will drop right in with the right hand thrust built into the firewall with no stand offs, a very good setup. It sounds like you had better get in the air and start pounding on that sequence. As it turned out the ignition was good, the caps needed a cleaning and electrical grease dressing. Gerhard was quick to turn it around for me. The TOC Extra with the 3W-106 will be an excellent flyer and you should do well in IMAC BASIC. See you at Land-o-Lakes in January.

Just make sure your LHS orders it from Ace hobby in CA,

Nice flying John Thsi plane will do well in Imac and that engine will make that plane a rocket
