I had the extra 260 as well, it is definately a great flying airplane, but having one that weighs in an ounce and a half less does make a difference. This plane crawls. I took off the sfg's and airbrakes because it seemed to slow some manuvers down and it wouldnt roll as fast as it did with out them. For me ill take the little extra speed for the better roll rate. Others may want to keep them on. If you can keep the 260 and build the enticement, they would both be great in the hanger, but if you have to choose id choose the enticement. As long as your flying indoors you'll love it. The 260 i remember id fly outside sometimes as well, ill leave the enticement indoors. As far as cutting the connectors and soldering everything direct it may not be needed but i just like to shed any weight i can off the plane.
