Default RE: TMPro USA Extra 260 Cool!!

Put a flight on it today. Windy, so I'll hold off on a real flight review till I get more time. One thing I definitley noticed was it was still very nose heavy. Mine is balanced at 4.75" and it was impossible to slow down for any type of high alpha flight, it would immediatley start to stall/snap.

The wheel pants, I don't know why I put them on but they're not really up to the task. Mine pretty much exploded when I landed, and it was an easy landing.

Also, one of the fuel tank zip ties broke, so I'd think about using some others. They're very brittle. I was able to snap the second one in two with little effort.

Take the extra straps that would hold the wheel pants on, and use them on the landing gear at the 90 degree bend on the fuse. My rotates a bit because there is nothing there to hold it on with.

Until I get the CG correct I'll hold off on a full flight review.
