Finally, and aircraft thats foam that isnt a flexi-flyer.Manufacturers take note, the bar has been raised! As soon as I can, I am going to order me one of these.;)

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

When you are flying the Extra...you would never know that it was a foamie. These babies really fly:D

Do you have any idea when that Yak54 is going to be available in the full fuselage kit?

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

bighead93,
Either those two ladies are both petite or the plane is really big(?) . How thick are the elevator, rudder and aileron parts? Are those simple 6mm depron? Looks so nice and sturdy.

Thanks,
Rico.

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

The Yak will be ready in a few weeks. I will be taking Pre-order later this week. The core is plywood and foam.

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

The tail feathers are 6mm depron with a balsa TE for added stiffness, and yes they are very strong, great for HARD 3-D and over powering!

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

They are both petite;) but the Extra 260 is a good size plane and yes it is very sturdy (6mm)!! I have abused my Extra...WOT snaps...tumbles whatever...I can't hurt it!! I am working on some video...and I will say it here that it is hands down the best single wing plane I own for high alpha knife edges...no coupling at all...locks in and I have personally ran an entire battery in knife edge!:D The day I took this picture I had lost control (my fault) in a hover and crashed it...not even a scratch! Everytime I am out flying...it always gets a lot of attention...and when people come over to see it they can't believe it is foam...it has become my everyday plane...heck I fly it in front of my house...it is that easy to control. Video coming soon!

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

Thanks for the info guys... still a good size plane 'though. Good to know it can handle light crashes 'cause that's me [X(]. Looking forward to the video.

^R^

If you look closely you can see my orginal star scheme Extra 260 flying! Most of the video was my Bipe;)
We will have more soon!

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

Hey everyone! Just got back from flying with the new Turnigy 2217 16turn 1050kv 23A Outrunner and all I can say is WOW!! Power on this motor is amazing!! Hovers at a click above 1/2 and pulls hard at 3/4. Power is smooth and looks great in the nose. I am using an 11X5 Xoar and tried everything from a 1300 to a 2100 and the results were very similar...I did like the extra punch with the 20C 2100. Great motor...out for a few more packs before dark!

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

A little motivation;)

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

Pretty scenery:)

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

It is so good to see and affordable plane with this size. Remember the old saying, small planes flit, big planes fly! Received mine today, cant wait to start it. I have bought my last flat flexi-flyer.:)

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

Congrads!! You are really going to enjoy it! Let me know if you have any questions!

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

So anyone have any questions? And who out there bought one of these Awesome planes?

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

Just bought the YAK, I hope it's like the 260!

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

It is, they both are awsome planes!

RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
 

The Extra 260 ROCKS!! Can't wait to try the Yak...is it ready yet;)
