Status: offline 		It's the Hacker A30-16M outrunner. It peaks at 350 watts. I see I won't be able to run a 12-6 though. Not sure now if it was the right choice. Chief sells them as the motor to go with the 260. I have a Torque 2814/820 outrunner that was on my extreme flight Yak that I could use but I think it's a little heavier. Tell me what you think I should do. It's not too late for changes and I do want it right.

Nicely done Aflipz. Thought I would come over and see some decent flying.

Cheers

Hi, the recomended motors are 105 grams and are rated 900 and 905kv PA makes one called the thrust 30, Extreme flight makes the 2818/900 and apache makes one, i forget what it's called. They are all great motors, pretty much the best match for this airframe and everything that closely resembles it.

And Wedgewing; thanks a lot! Welcome aboard. You're addicted to 260's or you aren't right?

I have a couple of other videos at vimeo if you would like to see them here's the link, one of them is being updated right now but it should be ready in a couple of minutes.

definitely addicted to the 260s. I have been an E Flite Fan Boy and had only heard of the PA 260 after you had mentioned it. Most of my time on the PA site was spent looking at the Addiction. I am going to see how the 260 3D 480 rebuild goes, but there is no way I am going to drop the money buying new wings, fuse and tail feathers when I could spend that on a PA 260 set up.

Maybe I will buy the remains of Fly1252's since he is breaking his cherry on that plane or Woodbenders after his sets on fire in air . can't be any worse outcome than mine. should be enough parts to build one model.

The Millennium park PA 260 show looked great. Nice green color on the plane

I will let you know if I go PA soon
