Default RE: Precision Aerobatics Extra 260

I have the yellow version and I love it! It tracks very well and is by far the easiest plane I own to land. You almost have to be blind to crash land this plane. It tracks great in the wind and has unlimited vertical. It actually is the largest plane I own, but it actually is the lightest plane and one battery last 11+ minutes! I was skeptical at first how well it handle in higher wind, but it handles just like a bigger plane. 3D is limited by your style and abilities and it does IMAC manuevers very well. I would highly recommend this plane as a first 3D plane or a plane that you want to hone your abilities with.

After looking at the specs on the Rimfire, I think you would be slightly underpowered. The Rimfire has max watts at 390 where the Torque 2814T/820 (the motor I have in mine) has max watts @ 518. I swing a 13x6.5e and it has unlimited vertical. I think your motor may be a little on the short side of vertical, but it would sport fly it on a 12x6e. I guess if you want lots of power or vertical you may need to switch out motors. You could still use your ESC on the Torque or PA's recommended motor as I have a 36 amp T-Bird. Hope this helps.
