AW Quick Delivery
Considering AW is in the process of changing locations I could not believe how fast they got my order out.
Monday the 23, at about 2pm I placed an order for a 75cc 260. Today, Wednesday the 25, UPS dropped it off around 3pm.
Aurora Co. to Dallas is not that far but three days was really a short delivery time with the order going in so late on Monday.
Plus UPS didnt destroy anything, everything arrived in great shape.
Thanks AW for the quick service.

RE: AW Quick Delivery
Yes!!! Their packaging is the best I have ever seen!!
I have two Aeroworks planes, and I can tell you that their quick service is only rivaled by their quick builds.
There quality and customer service is fantastic. I can tell you that I will be doing bussiness again with Aeroworks, no doubt about it!!

RE: AW Quick Delivery
I have a DA 85 that I broke in in an old airframe that will go in the AW 260.
The packaging is really something, not any damage at all. The thin wood inserts drive up the weight and shipping cost a little but I think it pays off in the long run with no headaches and waiting time on replacement parts.
Can someone comment on the CG. The 3" in the manual seems conservative. I prefer hands off when inverted, even if it means pushing a little down to get it to nose over to come in for a landing approach. What CG have some of you ended at?
With the 85 and a cannister should I put the rudder servo in the tail or on a pull / pull?
Thanks for any advice

Thanks for any advice

RE: AW Quick Delivery
I have two AW Yaks a 50cc and a 75cc, I was considering going to the 100cc class and was thinking about going with another company which I will not name but it's so hard to not go with the QB series planes after owning them, I find myself feeling that I would get "less than what I pay for" if I go somewhere else. It's hard to beat these planes, I'm just trying to decide which one to go with the Extra 260 or the Yak, I just sport fly on Saturdays.

RE: AW Quick Delivery
This is actually my third AW but it has been a while. I had one of their very first ARFs the 35% Edge that was red and white with a yellow pin stripe. Seems like that was maybe 8 years ago. Then a 28% Edge that was a kit and that was a while back also. I started to go with the Yak because I have never owned one. Seems like all I ever fly is Edges and Extras. So at the last minute while on the phone I chicken out and said Extra.
Also thanks to the those who commented on their CG location.
