How does the landing gear hold up on the extra 260? I will be putting a 30 DLE in it
The landing gear is quite strong and flexible but not as much as you would chip your prop.

I'm flying mine with a DLE30 swinging a 19x8 Xoar prop and i have no problem. I do touch ang goes with ease, even kangaroo landings [by pilot error] and still never have chipped a prop.

The plane has superb authority in flight and with the DLE30 you have insane amounts of power to do any 3D manuver.

Flat Spins is one of my favorite manuvers and this plane with do them nice and flat with about 3 clicks of throttle if you higher it stops and begins to go up while still in flat spin.

This is one incredible plane and the looks certainly attract a lot of people at least in my flying field.
