Hi guys, sorry for the delay. It is amazing how a ton of rain, work and kids can get in the way of your hobby! This past weekend I was finally able to spend the afternoon at the field and got 4 great flights on the 260. It trimmed out easily and flies fantastic. Feels very light at 39 lbs with all of the wing area and flies very true. IMAC stuff is smooth as silk and it is rock solid in 3D. I let 3 other guys have a turn at the sticks and all felt the same way. In fact one of them asked to order one on the spot. I have some pics my buddy took. I will try to get some video posted soon. I do believe that this plane will be a production color scheme on the 40%. Not too sure about the others. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to respond as quickly as possible. If you have been on the fence about getting one of these, do not hesitate. It flies sweet!!!! Craig

Made some progress...shortened the engine mount box so I could use 3" standoffs on the DA 50. added a 1/8" doubler and tri-stock for reinforcement. Wanted to keep the carb out of the fuse...this way everything is outside. Installed the rudder and elevators...used the plastic hinges provided with Pacer glue. Using Robart linkage instead of the supplied stuff. Hitec 5945MG for the rudder and 5975 HB's for the elevators and alierons. JR radio equipment otherwise. So far, everything looks top quality on the airframe, everything fits nicely, and the covering is very good. I'll have some pix soon as I download them from the camera and reduce the size.

RE: Aviation Models Extra 260
 

Can't wait to see the Pic's

Great Airplanes. I just built the 30% Yak and it flies great.

RE: Aviation Models Extra 260
 

Wow it looks very nice !! I´m looking for my first 40% and this TOC model seems to be a great flyer and a very good price, I want it for 3D and precision do yo recoment it to me?? or I should save more money for an AW?? thanks!!!!!!!!!

RE: Aviation Models Extra 260
 

RE: Aviation Models Extra 260
 

And I have another question, it is true that it´s a heavy plane?? do you modificated something??will it be enought with 2 8711 per aleron and 1 per elevator??!!!

RE: Aviation Models Extra 260
 

I have just bought and received my TT TOC 33% Extra 260 from Chief Aircraft. It came without a tailwheel. I called Chief and was told that they do NOT come with one. Is this true? The list of items in the manual says tailwheel included.

RE: Aviation Models Extra 260
 

That is true, they don't come with the tail wheel or tail gear assembly.  I'm not sure why they don't, but I would recommend the Haigh tail gear assembly.  I have one on my 33% TOC Yak, and it has held up to numerous harrier landings.  The Sullivan tail gear assembly did not fare as well.</p>
