Default RE: Fliton Extra 260 Mini Set-up time!!!

A buddy of mine GAVE me his 260. This is my first fully aerobatic flyer, and I have to say, it's AWESOME!! After only 3 flights I'm already doing Lomcevaks, waterfalls, and inverted flight. Still working up to the fancy stuff.

He gave it to me already to go, just put in my Rx and lipo. There's no real label on the ESC, but the motor I have in it is a Dualsky XM3530CA-14 with a 12x6 APC prop. Other than a Thunder Power 350Mamp lipo for my Hacker Reno Racer (Strega), I have 2, 2200Mamp 25c lipos, a 2150 15c, and 2, 2100 15c lipos. They get used in my 6mm Fly RC F-15 and my modified Park Zone P-51. The best way to go, so I've been told, is no bigger than a 2100. In fact I was told to use a 1500-1800 size.

I'm still learning this bird, like the fact that the main gear is WEAK and can't handle more than 2 hard bounces. The gear is getting replaced, and I'm strengthening a couple areas in the airframe. All a total of 15 minutes worth of work, and nothing in comparison to the shear 100% "fun-factor" I've gotten from this thing in just 3 flights!!

I'm curious to find and hear more posts on set ups and mods. I absolutely LOVE this bird and look forward to every chance to fly it. Plus, it just looks so darn cool.
