Well I ordered the X260 yesterday from you guys clay. And can't wait to show case it here in Puerto Rico since there's are a lot of 3d pilots and also lots of sports flyier which i'm sure will like this plane and its color scheme .

The airplane will be flying at 2625 feet (800 meters) above sea level with the DLE 30cc. [I googled the info on the sea level ]

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.

Hey there Clay.
Good to hear from you again. Sadly the plane has over 150 flights and no videos.. I will try to take one next time I go to the field.


The plane is extremely excellent in flight, 3d and in the ground with everyone in the field loving the plane.
And I'm extremely proud of having it and flying it.

About the saito my father is not home at this moment but i'll let him know as soon as he returns.
Question if you haven't sold it. what's the lowest you can go on that saito?

Kerwin50 is correct, I do still have green 260 parts but the planes are gone for now, the new Orange ones should be here mid November

Here's another picture of the X260 this time with its owner on our flying field.
Also I added the Xoar Prop covers to it to protect that huge prop!

Looked at the new scheme yesterday at the store; here's a pic. Looks pretty good, though I think I still like the green a little better.

That i am
It's a superb airplane which over-excells in every manuver.. It flies like it's on rails and lands super easily!!
Regardless of the color scheme this plane is a winner allways and that new orange looks good also..

This is a nice plane... easy to fly and definitely easy on the eyes.

Peace,

Thinking of buying myself one for christmas and putting a 26cc RCGF engine.  How is the build quality of the plane?  How about flying, hovers, flat spins, etc?
