Re: RC Pilot Build Thread - Extra 260 87"

Nope not yet Aaron.

Had to make some changes to the CG which meant packs had to be re-arranged. Plus I need to tidy up the spaghetti of wires.

Its gotta look neat and not like a rats nest even if it takes me an extra day.

Lookin like Thursday now as I have something on tomorrow, but the plane is looking good.

Weight at this stage is about 7.5kgs which means it will have to be certified.

Bit slow but also building an indoor plane at the same time

Yep Rickys Breeze Pro
Can work it out with a Spektrum RX then swap to Futaba RX when you get one.

The 260 is looking real nice!
See what we can do about gettin you a fly

What do you need built Aaron? Man youre young with too much time on your hands. You can do it just dont treat like a gasser and slop Hysol all over it

I still have our Gernot Bruckman Yak to build yet and a Piaget

I aslo have a 3M 260 in the box to build!

Whenever Howie.

I can work around your time table or we can do it on the week-end and let more people come along and see the maiden and maybe have a test fly (as long as they give you thier credit card details first)

LARCS on Sunday? Weather looks superb!

or Gratton Field, but will have to check with Chris to see if the strip is ok as it got re-surfaced last week.

Otherwise next week is fine.
