nice plane rcfan. Who makes it?
I have a sd-model extra 260. After 12 flights the spinner bolt broke throwing the spinner off and was caught by the JXF prop. Destroyed both the spinner and the prop and fortunately I was able to land her. Tom of valleyviewrc was so kind, he replaced both the spinner and the props for free! Now that's what I call service. With an extractor, I was
Able to take out the broken nut that was left in the shaft. Now she's ready to fly again.
Good luck with your maiden. You will love that plane.
It's the Aeroworks 35cc Extra 260. I paid the full price (ouch) then a week later they put it on sale for $150 less (no free shipping either). So I'm a little bitter about that, they said they would give me a discount on my next purchase - as if I'll be spending 500 bones on a plane again anytime soon! Well, hopefully not.
Either way the DL has been fired up several times to test out the smoke system and break in the engine. So far the motor is running great. 6900 rpm's @ 6500' above sea level seems pretty good to me for the first runs.
Unfortunately we just got another 12" of snow today on top of the 14" we already had. The only thing I maidened today was my snowblower!
