Default RE: E-Flight Extra 260 with showstopper VPP

Hi Ron.

You are welcome, yes I have two setup, RCU Bipe with the V-Pich from Electrifly and the Extra 260 with showstopper VPP and 370 hollow shaft motor fro E-flite. The last one work better for me, of course the Bipe was 12oz heavy so is not fair for the rimfire, hehe. There is many VPP set up which one is up to your like. It can be E-flite, Electrifly, Hacker, Hobby Lobby with the axi, Himax or many other but the first two are the one I know. You going to need a voltmetter to keep the amps under the max when you are setting the pitch. An ESC with governor is the best choice The BL-12 from Electrifly is good or the Phoenix 25 from Castle Creations is better since you will be using 4 or 5 servos. Any other with governor will also work but I dont know much of other brands. All the servos can be 6g or less but make sure that the one for the pitch is at least 17oz of torque. The brand is up to you but if you want quality and servos that will stay in the position with out play I'll go with one of the name brand ( Futaba, JR or Hitec ) last one are very good and cheaper. For lipo battery 730 to 900 mah 3cells is the way to go. Anything else just let me know.
