It is a fair looking model even though it is not a great 3D plane by the admission of the distributor. Although side force generators probably do a good job of covering up design limits or characteristics, I personally prefer a model that doesn't need stuff like that to make them fly well.

RE: TMPro Extra 260 P 3D/Pattern ARF
was wondering if you were able to determine or have an opinion as to why the wings were like a banana...Was it inferior construction techniques, substandard quality of materials, design flaws or packing. A bent wing doesn't appeal to me much even at half the price. I think for now I will consider more tried and true models.

No problem at all 90% of my planes came like that.
I thought my pins were misaligned to but they wasn't, they look like it from the angle your looking at them. I inserted them one at a time and they loosed up and slide on fine now. The plane is right there with my mojo arf in every way but a ton easer to put together. Don't 3d very good? Were did you see that at? I'm putting some killer gear in it, so it better kick it and get with it. If its anything like a Fusion its money. So far the plane is above average and looks awesome

I've got one, but only have two flights on it so far. Fighting engine problems. The CG in the manual states 4.25" I know someone who did a electric conversion and balanced it at 4.25" and it was very nose heavy. I balance mine initially at 4.75" and it was still very nose heavy. I'm now back at 5.25" and it's so much better. The plane really does fly well. As was stated, it's a bit faster then a straight fat profile but it still floats and does all the 3d stuff with ease. Add some power and it actually flys nice straight lines. Haven't tried the winglets yet.
My wheel pants exploded on the first landing, maybe cause it was a bit chilly.
I like the plane myself.

Hello all. I like the look of this plane. If it flies half as good as it looks it should be great... anyone tried a 4 stroke?

Anyone have any idea how to install the tail wheel/wire ? I've studied the photos on the website and in the manual and I still don't get it. I'm sure it is me....
Thanks
Thanks

Flew mine... this past weekend.
Suffering from a non-runing 46fx.
When the motor ran the plane flew good. I saw no bad habits from the start. My sick motor would not hold a hover for nothing. Only issues Im having is sorting out the CG. I also played hell with tailwheel as stated in another post so mine is locked.
Puttin a 55ax on it for this weekend. with 13x4 apc.
will report back

You can go into the profiles forum and read any quality issues, many customers have them now. We have not received one phone call in regards to any wing that was bent in any way. Nothing bent really, other then this thread and we were never contacted, but would have been happy to replaced. So far only 1 fuse was replaced free of charge becasue the pins did not line up. Other then that, nothing. I've been selling profiles for a long time and I know what the initial feedback looks like from a bad run of ARF's, this is not one of them. Either way each customer will get any defective part replaced free of charge, including shipping both directions if there is a problem.
