The TBM 260 flies precision like an Extra and 3D's like an edge. The strong point for precision is the way it snaps. It's a light plane with light wings, so it starts and stops snaps very quickly and will snap in a slow and controllable manner. The mixes are in the 3-4% range. For 3D it's very stable and predictable. It never does anything unexpected. You can horse it around on elevator and it will not snap out on you. I think that for precision most of the mentioned plane are pretty close and it's what you get use to that makes the difference. I do like the way it 3D's better than any other Extra I've flown, it's as good as an edge.
