The brakes on mine aren't very strong. At least it lands nice and slowly ;) Hopefully I should have a solution for the Zimmerman pipe soon and be back up and rolling.

I was flying mine from our grass site today which is about 120m as Dave said and even with virtually no wind today it was dead easy to get in with plenty of room to spare. My CG is a decent amount...

The only issues I've had from the gear not going up is when at too high speed or G. Just retract at lower speed.

I'm only changing mine because the old one started jamming the vector in certain situations after about 70 flights. I'd just fly the pipe you have.

It sounds like this pipe should give a little...

Sounds like the new pipe is a bit lighter and should be more efficient. My old style pipe has also started kinking in and jamming the vector pipe so I've got a new pipe on order.

I used high flow felt clunks on my 300 and all seems fine - pump voltages are good so far. When I used the CARF supplied ones in the past I drilled them out to get a higher flow rate.

I've not done it and am not aware of anyone that has done it but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

It's not like a J10 that will blast out of the hover with a 220. With a 300 it will push out but won't blast out - but it still works for me. The plane is a really satisfying aerobatic plane without...

Not sure how big the 260 is but if it's any bigger than a 220, the bypass is probably going to be a bit tight for it. In which case I'd just remove the bypass and trim the bell mouth to suit the 310....
