Default RE: CA-260 baby!

Hey Silver I will. Right now I am running on 4 hours sleep going on 48 hours so... Hopefully the return flights will be better! Finally got some real food for lunch today, yay!

I plan on a 157 Competition Series twin spark engine. Personally I like my setup, where the two ignitions and the two receivers will be totally seperate entities, for double redundancy on both. This sucker should be on some major steroids with that beast engine heh.. Incidentally I'm going to run the PEFA cans on it, and get a virtual cockpit from Kregg Wright. The only other mod I plan on doing is getting rid of the nasty huge 260 they painted on the bottom of the wings and put some large stripes going down them for visibility and presentation. Before I left, we put the rudder and the elevators on. That scheme does look sweet in person!

By the way, the fuselage weighs NOTHING! It has to be less than 3 pounds, and its HUGE. I wish I had an accurate scale to measure it in.

Yea sorry, www.composite-arf.com has the 260 on their What's New page and there you can see the instruction manual.

Pics to come Saturday. My Xmas will likely consist of a lot of 40% parts, how odd...
