ok so aeroworks has this 30cc extra 260 freestyle wow!!!!! and 3dhs has the 71" slick wow!!!!! IM NOT ONE FOR SMALL PLANES,but I just flew the 71" slick love it .then I found some vids on the aeroworks 260 freestyle I could not believe what I seen .I want one of the two planes but witch one????????? has anyone flew both if so witch one is a better 3d flyer .I know I cant go wrong with eather one,but one has to be liked more then the other help please what to buy. I will be using the dle 30

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

the 260 is bigger and floatier the slick is starting to get outdated

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

You know your right the slick is starting to get out dated . I never thought about that . The slick I just flew was the older 70" blue and sliver . It flew 3d in wind as good as the 100cc planes on market I felt like I was flying a big plane

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

lol I dout that . the slick is floaty
the slick is big

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

I like the slick very much but I bet the 260may float better with a 79" wing I'm really hoping to hear from one who has flown both

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

is the updated slick still using a glue in stab and elevator joiner?
the price is nearly the same, the 260 offers a lot more in design.

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

As far as I know yes the slick still does that is the only thing I don't like about the slick wish they got with the times on that still a awesome plane but man have u guys seen the vid tail dunk with the aw 260 man that plane gets it just google search aeroworks 260 freestyle 30cc it's worth watching the vids of it

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

yes I had new 260, cant comment much on flight, as she kamakazeed in on maiden due to electronic issues, but assembly was fast and easy and solid, and its a decent size with a few nice extra touches, sure the slick is a proven airframe, but at the same cost the 260 is a better buy in m opinion.
yes, if you read various forums comments, they all give the AW 260FS 2 thumbs up.
I am getting another with out doubt at all.

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Thank u much for the info sorry to hear about the loss hate that .so much money and the wife never understands lol.

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Yeah the wife was pissed
She also liked the plane, and I have alot of them
The size was nice
, big enough, but fits in a 4 dr sedan for
An everyday flier
I searched the 30cc market for a long ,and if you
Want a top of the line plane the aw is way ahead
Of pilot and others
I would also consider the extreme flight extra
300 in 30cc, but i already have their 50cc one

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Thank u very much for the info I just got a email from a guy that owns both aw 260 and the slick he said aw 260 all the way looks like I'm doing the aw 260

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

I am getting another too
The only thing is, these don't have a canister
Tunnel, the dle 30 is loud on stock muffler, not a problem
If your field is not noise sensitive
I think TBM sells a plug for the stock muffler
To bring the dcb down

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Valleyviewrc.com sells them they do make it very quite . Lucky me no issue at my club but I think I'm gunna now go with the 35 after talkin to frank he said its best match for it

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

The 35 bolts right up and template is provided.i put the dle 35
In mine with canister.
It just needs 1/4 spacers to get cowl
Distance. I simply made them from wood ( 1 inch Diam? )
Dowel and drilled the center out for bolts
Some said the el servos may touch each
If you have a deep case. I had clearance
On mine, but easy enough to use a shim if needed
Everything else was simple.
Enjoy

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

260 Freestyle with the DLE 35RA is an amazing model! Engine is perfect and it flies on rails. It excels in every portion of flight except slow flat spins. SFG's are to blame there but still a great model. Only negative thing to put would be the construction around the gear mount isn't the strongest. By the way, Aero-works is making a 50cc and 100cc size freestyle soon.

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

does anyone know if the aw comes with the graphics.

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Yes
Comes with the 260 freestyle logos and some
Other stuff. Some said they were translucent
And had new ones cut
I never applied mine, so not sure on quality
Or how see through they are,
But you do get a full sheet with
Large logos

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

very cool as of now I have a new with a few flights dle 30 .do any of you feel this engine wont have enough power to go crazy with 3d flight?or better yet how big of a diff is the 35 to the 30?

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Be a very fast swap to the 35, if you think the 30
Is not enough,
Some said the 35 was almost too much, maybe
The 30 will do if at lower elevation

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

good point and very true I guess I could sell my 30 and just go 35 from the start thx again guys

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Go 35! You will not regret it! I'm going fly mine tomorrow!<div>
</div>

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Err... it's "Which One"... A "Witch" is a chick in a black hat who flies on a broom... Just Sayin'....

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Ha lol u r right

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

any one know what the best 3d prop is for the dle 35 ra

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

I'm running a Xoar 19x8. It pulls well. I had the 20x8 on it at one time. It pulled pretty hard but lost speed. The sound was amazing with the 20 though. Had a great rip

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

So 19x8 xoar is great

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

That's what I used, and is good for break in also.
Could try a 20x6 or 20x8 of other brands after break in,
Like vess etc. one should always have 3-4
Props handy and try out for personal taste

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

ok guys I just did it I ordered the aw 260 dle 35 ra and everything else to stuff it....... thx for all your help on me making this decision

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Nice
Kinda envious right now, it's a nice package
Gonna fly my 50cc extra and MXS-R
For a couple of months and then get another
AW 260 as a daily flier

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

PAU carries some decent spinners if you haven't
Got one

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

[8D]Thx man I'm very glad I'm gunna have a small plane to fly I'm so tired of dragging ont the trailer

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Yes they do my aw 300 has one of there's .there's a guy on eBay I've been buying from lately very cheep and great spinners go to ebay and put in carbon fiber spinners he's in Virginia I think he goes by 25k just bought the 3" shipped for 28.00

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

You will be happy with the 260, mine has become my "go to" plane.

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Well I just finished my new 260 free style I did go with the dle 35 ra vess 19a mks 1210 tg servos a123 battery's I'm very happy . Gunna fly it today for its first flight . I will let u all know my thoughts

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Before I report the 260 freestyle ,I've been flying pilot rc 3d hobby shop and bill hempel . I like big plane from the 126 " aj slick to 50% bill hempel edge and pilot rc 37.5 yak all awesome planes as far as I'm concerned these are the best arfs in the world . So now I try aeroworks . I have the 35% 3OO I love that plane so I figured I'd try the freestyle . Well today I put 5 flights on it . Love it love it love it !!!!! This small plane is my new everyday flyer as far as it goes it blows the 71" slick out of the water I'd even say its better then the 89" slick . I'm A 3d nut and that's all I fly . Thank all of u for telling me to buy this aw freestyle

RE: what to get aeroworks 3dhs
 

Glad you like it! I was going to mention... I went to the 20 A Vess prop and mine works good. Makes the engine much quieter and pulls very well.

they are runing 19 8 20 8 on DLE 35's .. depends on your style 19x8 Xora might fit the ticket

The 260 is a great flying plane and I have around 50 flights on mine now but like previous posts said make sure you beef your landing gear plate up with some fiberglass matting and glue . I had the whole right side plate come loose and have never had a hard landing . Also some of the wood is poor quality and flakes apart . Their quality on some things isn't as good as what you would expect from Aero-works and the price is a little high . But over all its a great flying plane. I have DLE 35 on mine and I have used various props and have settled on the Xoar 19/8. I liked the xoar 20/6 but it was showing 8900 rpms on that prop before break in was done which is a little excessive

I found the quality great on mine. Had an engine out on an up line and fell flat in the dirt. I'll admit in there attempt to build light the gear area is allittle weak but repairing was easy. All the same wood went back into place and haven't had trouble yet.

I couldn't decide either so I bought both I set the slick up on 8s electric and working on the extra with a dle 35
