Default My new 42% Dalton 260

Just thought I would share a few pics of my new ride for 2006. If the weather ever improves here in Ohio I may get to fly it. Tony Russo framed the plane up and I finished it out. Tony did a beautiful job.

Specifics:
DA-150
MTW 110 cans
Futaba 9152's (2 x aileron, 1 x elevator, 2 x rudder)
Sure-Link servo arms
Fromeco LiIons and Regulators + 2 Badger switches
Monokote and DuPont ChromaBase paint
DieHard Graphics

See you guys on the IMAC circuit this summer!

Ken

Ken,
Looks to me like your painting and covering skills are up there with Tony's, the plane looks absolutely awesome. I love that scheme, lots of free hand cutting of that Monokote.

ICE,

I'd be surprised if I make it to the huckfest. I know Toby very well - he is a super guy. But my daughters spend the summer with me and I usually only get to 1 or 2 events during the summer. The NATS is 1st on the list! Thanks for the compliments. Have fun in Peebles!

Ken, good looking bird. You sure like that Toyota scheme, it looked good on your Carden too. All the best on your maiden.

Hey man,

If there was ever a good reason to miss an event that would have to be it.!

Yes Wayne, we are full time in Lebanon, OH. I'm dangerously close to everybody now

I wanted to add that Ken does a fantastic job at building and covering folks. I can tell by just looking at the pictures that he has done another fabulous job. I can't wait to see it in person. looks like a couple of good looking 260's this year in the NC after seeing Wayne's also.
