I just purchased one of the PA Extra 260 at a hobby store more than 40 miles from the house. After opening the box, I was disappointed with the build quality. The canopy was way wide towards the back, after looking at it, it was evident that none of the spars had glue on them. Re-fitted the spars and glued and it fits fine. Now I was a little nervous so I started checking other pieces and the motor mount frame had the same issues, many of the joints were not glued, again re-glued and again all seems fine.

I have been flying E-flite motors for many years and I have a few 480's that aren't being used, my hobby dealer said that a 480 would fit right in, not exactly true. A little modification and it is now mounted. I have not owned any PA product, but what I have read they are very good models and I will be ultimately happy with the purchase. Looking forward to completing and flying...........Bob
