RE: E-Flight Extra 260 with showstopper VPP
Hey no problem darticus,
I think your best choice will be the Slick Extreme because the electrifly Yak 55 3D will be to heavy. But even the slick dont look to strong on the nose, you can try to reinforce it. The extra 260 fly very good I have it a little on the heavy side since I fly it outside. I did have to reinforce all the CF so they will not pop out in fly or in a landing. You can use the E-flite 20-Amp Brushless ESC it dont have governor, is not necesary to have it but with it it will give you that extra help of preventing the ESC
from overpowering the sistem by regulating the rpm. I have the BL-12 for my RCU bipe and have a Phoenix 25 by castle creation for the extra 260 both have governor. I also have the e-flite 10-Amp Pro Brushless ESC I use it with the extra with out a problem but you have to be careful to not over amping the sistem by giving to much pitch. My opinion, the extra or other planes will do better than the ones that you have, you can still try with the slick but you may have to reinforce it good. I have some plans for a mid motor plane that you build your self, if you want to try it. The materials may come close to what an ARF plane will cost you. Think of what plane you will like and let me know Ill be happy to help you choose the sistem. I have some pics Ill try to post them soon.
