I'm also deliberating on the one or two piece for my 260.
Since you have the motor mounted was there any issue slipping the cowl off & on over the DA?

Thanks , Ed

Status: offline 		I have recently finished my 32% Carden Yak 54. I am so impressed with Carden kits, I would like to build the 35% Extra 260. I have a few questions.

1) I noticed the Carden Extra uses full length elevators on the horizontal stab. A few kits use the counter balance elevators similar to the Yak set-up. Is there any advantage or disadvantage with the full length elevators?

2) I have a set of MTW 75 canister mufflers. Will they fit and what is the header drop when using the DA100 engine?

3) I plan on using the DA100 engine with the SWB offset mount. What size spacers will I need?

4) What is the diameter of the spinner?

Thanks for the help.

I am enjoying this build thread.

Regards,

Steve K

Status: offline 		Steve,

The full scale 260 didn't have counter balances. Cardens 330s have them as does the full scale. Having flown both I don't see a difference but you might if using an older servo with less torque than todays servos.

I have recently finished my 32% Carden Yak 54. I am so impressed with Carden kits, I would like to build the 35% Extra 260. I have a few questions.

1) I noticed the Carden Extra uses full length elevators on the horizontal stab. A few kits use the counter balance elevators similar to the Yak set-up. Is there any advantage or disadvantage with the full length elevators?

2) I have a set of MTW 75 canister mufflers. Will they fit and what is the header drop when using the DA100 engine?

Yes there is room for canisters but I don't know what the header drop would be. I'll be using the standard DA mufflers.

3) I plan on using the DA100 engine with the SWB offset mount. What size spacers will I need?

The DA 100 is 1" away from the firewall.

4) What is the diameter of the spinner?

4-1/2"

Thanks for the help.

Status: offline 		Swk550, I am also building the Extra 260. I used the MTW 75 cans and used the 90mm drop. Works great with this plane. The spinner is a 4-1/2". I am new to building but have a great builder as a friend and this is turning out pretty nice.
