Default RE: extra 260 from Abell RC

Yes, it belonged to a friend from another club. It wasn't set up/optimized for 3D, and I was helping him set throws, etc. The one I flew had a DLE30 with a Master Airscrew 20x6, and was a bit nose-heavy. Despite that, I was able to hover it a bit, and I think with a better prop (19x8 Xoar, maybe) and some tweaks, it would be a great little plane. Not as nice as a 71" Slick or Aeroworks Extra or Edge in that size, but $150 cheaper too! Abell is the closest thing I have to a LHS; they are a good outfit. I wouldn't hesitate to try one out...
