Default RE: *Seagull Extra 260 90 ARF*

not alot of build info in this thread other than the balence issues with these planes. however after a long sleep in my basement ,i opened the box for the first time today and started my build. i used west system epoxy and coated the engine box and landing gear area both inside and out as is standard now with my ARF builds. i then ironed the coverings and did all the CA hindges. all were very easy with this model and things turned out as hoped for. i have other 3D planes and what with the wieght of this bird i am going to set this up as a swoop and loop beast. i am sure it will hover but with flat tall feathers i believe it will do best in"above stall speed" mode. she is about the same wieght and sq. in. as my H9 P51that i enjoy flying very much. but this bird carries a bigger engine so i am goimg to maximize my bird for speed! i believe she will be alot of fun to fly this way!
