Hey Kiosk
My night ended just like yours. The new flyer with the screen name "I love nachos" has become an instant expert on his T28 and was even flying my 260 around. Needless to say later when I was working close to the ground on handling, knife edges, and inverted slow speed, I caused my poor friend to run for cover when my 260 chose to bond with Mother Earth.........Nachos did well and despite the carnage pictures I am attaching, he flew his plane like a champ.
I followed Aflipz advice on the left right balance and it was flying great tonight with two pennies on the right wing. great handling until the wreck......
I have even added a picture for Jimeni with my nylon screw modification. I added a little bar and drilled two holes and just added two more nylons. the flights prior to this one were non-issues for the landing gear. Hell, this one augured very hard and the only piece I won't have to throw away is the landing gear and my four nylon screws
Really a sad night and I have to consider going to the LHS and buying a new 260 tomorrow ( I think I have ruled out the Mini Showtime) or pick up a Mini FuntanaX. Lurking on the horizon (no pun intended) is the Ultimate 20-300 Bipe, but I have to move to a Power 10 when I already have the 480 1020kv sitting here on the airplane autopsy table.
decisions decisions decisions.......one thing I think I know is this plane is roached. I have brought so many back before on rebuilds but this one is a house of tooth picks [

enjoy the carnage everyone
