Default Extra 260 EPP!!

Check out this Extra 260 EPP! I downloaded the vid and i was very impressed!!! Looks like it would be a really good indoor 3d machine. What do you guys think? The main reason i liked it was because i couldn't see any flexing of the tail surfaces while in flight, unlike the shocky's that you'd swear are made of jello when they're stressed a bit.

You must be lucky enough to fly in a golf dome or larger area. That extra looks pretty, but I don't think any full bodied EPP plane can compete with a 3MM depron plane for indoors. They're always going to be faster and heavier, and limit what you can do in small spaces. In general -- the prettier they look, the worse they fly.

Check out the mods that Shockflyer Kidd made to his shocky with fishing line to eliminate the tail twist. The pics posted to in that thread (I think it was called "Shockflyer Acc") show cross bracing the tail. It's very similar to how Scott Foster did his "animal" for the ETOC, but I think Kevin thought of it first.

The new shockies don't have the balsa tri stock, which helped the tail twist some. Without that, you do need something for cross bracing.
