Patty's current Extra 300 S is trimmed in Red. But her 260 was trimmed like the profile. It's the one in the Nat'l Air Space Museum in DC.

Status: offline 		STLPilot, contemplating which engine to go with. I want a quality engine, but mostly I want maximum power without adding any dead weight. What would you recommend? OS 55 AX, .50SX, .46 FX Saito 72, 62 or any-other recommendation.

Thanks again,
John

Status: offline 		Film use on the 260's is similar to the one on the Katana's v2.
Its high quality China cote that been sold in USA under US brand...

Colors match Monokote and Ultracote as well if need any repair...

TMPro is including in some of its ARF's small pcs of film for small repairs so you
wont need to go out and look for similar brand or color.

I was told the other day that OS 55AX is supposted to be really good, almost a 4 stroke feel in a 2 stroke package. It's really up to you and what you like. The .50SX will do the job, heck even the Thunder Tiger .46 will too.

Hi all, met with Dion yesterday and picked up my extra 260, Dion took

the time to open the box and go thru the components with me. Really

superb looking build and cover job. I still can't get over the fact of

servo leads being supplied. I'm looking foward to getting this one ready.

I'll keep all informed.

Status: offline 		Mine came today. Good thing the guy installing our new windows was here and told me about it. He said the wife was going to hide it and I wasn't getting it 'til Christmas. Here's some pics. Everything looks packed very well. The wing panels feel very light. I would weigh everything on my digital scale, but I'm going to play the wife's game.

Status: offline 		Hinges are tack glued in on one surface. Nice touch. Kit looks great. I'm waiting to start because I'm in the middle of a MOJO 40 kit right now. Both are going to have OS .55AX on then. I know, throttle control!!

I showed the 260 at breakfast this morning to 18 flyers. They were impressed with the whole ARF and what came with it.
