Rocco,

I'm interested in the 60cc Freestyle Extra 260. Has anyone set one up on 12S yet?

Not that I have seen. It's do able, but you may have to reinforce the tray area a little.
The airframe is light and would be sweet on a electric setup.

I finally finished my Extra 260 Freestyle. It's taken me way too long.
I let Andrew Grant use my motor for the King 50 Flying event, and have been looking into a HV setup and newer servos. I tried several different servos and did not like some compared to what I settled for. Maiden Day was 9-21-14.


Got the plane all trimmed out and could not believe at how well the plane tracked. My setup is a little tail heavy, but not much. The Pitts muffler may have helped with instead of the stock muffler. Also, I may add a Tru-Turn aluminum spinner. The carbon gear would be nice but is not necessary as I need the little extra from the stock gear. If I add a carbon tail wheel this may help with my cg.
I will resolve this. I used the Blazing Star engine mount which is 1.50 inches.
I still need about a washer or tad more to have my spinner clear the cowl. I was afraid the spinner would rub as it is very close. My Compact muffler works to clear the cowl, but the corner is just touching it. I will have to open a small hole in the cowl to relieve this. The Pitts muffler would clear and works great.
It would add a little of nose weight also. I just was looking for a very clean and cool look with the louvers I cut into the cowl. I will add one or two washers between the engine and mount to push the motor forward.


Update: 10-8-2014
Relieved the cowl where the muffler rubbed. Also, I added a Tru-Turn Aluminum spinner with a solid back plate for nose weight. I flew it on 10-5-14 and it worked great. Before I had 7 clicks of down, now I have 1 click of down.


Aeroworks Did a Fantastic job of designing a great 3D Freestyle Plane. The Plane dose track very well also. If you are into High Energy 3D stuff, this is the plane! I did a few mod's. Check out my pictures.


Here's what I settled for:
DA60
Blazing Star Aluminum engine mount / spacer
JTec stock muffler custom compacted
Falcon 24x9 carbon prop
Home made Fiji 16 ounce tank
Hitec HS7950TH servos
SWB servo arms, 1.50's on aileron, 2'' on elevator, and a 3 inch on rudder.
Spektrum AR9110 Power Safe receiver
Smart Fly Pin Flag Switch
Thunder Power 2s 2700mah Prolite Lipo's x 2 for power
Tech Aero Ultra IBEC for Ignition
Kavan 3.50'' Tires
Tru-Turn 3.50'' P-51 Aluminum spinner, solid backplate


AUW 17.4 lbs, no fuel


Cory


Here's a video of me Flying mine and Tossing it around. It's a Fun Plane.
It flies and tracks great, but I like doing the 3D stuff the most.

The 120cc Freestyle’s are in production and I expect to have them in stock late December. We have been working hard to finalize our new web site and I will have the plane listed on the new site….

We plane on launching the new site in the next few days!

Thank you,
Rocco
