sounds good! YES! I think the ecomposite setup is going to be the HOT SETUP! I have been skeptical in selling my DA 100 and buying a 3W 106 for the extra umph, but given their service and great product, I think I am going to remain loyal.

Frank, No I have NOT received anything as of yet. Arrival has been pushed back till mid AUG

Status: offline 		Question, regarding the new 260 (soon to be mine) I have also kicked around the idea of running stock mufflers. Has anyone done this? Is there any bolt on muffler application that is semi quiet somewhere between a pipe and stock?

Thanks for the help!

The Mejzlik 25x12 3B on a DA-100 isnt loud at all.

how are the downlines and verticle pull versus a standard 2 blade 27x10? Any comparisons?

Initially it had a 2B then I switched to a 3B for IMAC.
The plane was light enough not to feel any power loss and the downlines were slightly (not much) slower.

This 260 I am sure will be the same way.

I was expecting this. I would have been surprised if it was actually "in stores" on their origional due date, although if any company could do it it would have been H9. Still, from late July to mid August is only about a 2-3 week pushback. Not that I am happy about it, but I understand...

Now that I have more time to shop, perhaps Mike can chime in with the actual wing tube measurements so I can get a CF tube here and ready when the plane is??? You mentioned that it was 1.5 inches earlier, which surprised me, as most Chinese tubes are like 41-42mm. Can you verify that, as well as the length? Thanks in advance...

The only thing that will stick through the bottom of the cowl is the exhaust pipes.

Status: offline 		Thanks, guys, wish you would get your kits so I can hear the good and bad.

I have the 27 % H9 Extra 260 and although it flys wonderfuly the kit quality provided a few challenges.

I fly IMAC and am not a 3D pilot.

Status: offline 		Mike,

I was told by a local hobby store owner (friend) the kits would be avialable within the next few weeks. Is this the case or should I not belive what i hear? Are we still looking a mid August arrival.


Thanks for info.


Steve
