Default RE: E-Flight Extra 260 with showstopper VPP

Thanks Fernando
Fantastic! Glad I found someone who has some time flying a 4D. I originally wanted to put a VPP unit on my Bug which is 6 oz but people are saying its too small with only a 23.5 wingspan. I have three planes , Trying to save a little using planes I have, that I was thinking of adding a VPP unit into but everyone thinks their tooo small. My Bug 6oz was first choice my Slick Extreme 6oz second and my Yak 55 3D third. The Extra 260 with showstopper VPP and 370 hollow shaft motor fro E-flite was my next choice and I priced out all the parts. I guess you used the 20 amp ESC Elite makes? I don't know if it has a governor in it or if its needed with this. Does the 260 fly good for you?
Here is a pic of my Bug if you think I can use the 370 motor and showstopper on it with a better ESC and heavier VPP servo let me know.
I have even had some suggestions to get a mid motor plane but hard to find in the US.
Do yo have any pics you can share? Thanks Ron
