Default Extra 260?

Which of these two would a better combination(power to weight, wingloading, easer to see in the air, better quality, ect.) with a DLE-30cc? This will be my first gasser and first plane bigger than a .40.

Also, If anyone knows of any vids of either of these planes with a DLE-30cc please post them.

you cant go wrong with those 2 choices, the good thing is that Tom is in USA so he can help you anytime. Pilot RC has great airplanes also, i love the color combinations. You can Ask Tom also for a combo almost RTF just add your rx and you can go out. Personally i would buy a really good servos, maybe a super overkill like 7955, why? cause believe me, after you go gas, you dont look back(glow) and you will want a bigger airplane later, 50cc or 100cc and that servos will work for you, but of course is my personal opinion.

at this point, get the one that fit your taste, colors, aiframe, etc....both are almost the same wing area 960 vs. 964. One Advice give Tom a call...and talk with him just a few min....and then decide, sometimes talk with the company helps.

Good luck.

Hi r/cNUT

If I were you. just starting in gas I would go with Tom at WildHare as he can answer
your questions NOW and in the FUTURE on gas set up...
ALSO: get you started on using A123 batteries...
