Hi Mike, I have an extra 260 which I love, had a saito 220 and now want electric power. I was wondering if anyone has flown it with the e flight power 160 on 10s?

RE: 27% Extra 260 electric
Not exactly, but almost
H9 Edge 120 78"
Flew it with the power 110 on 9s, flew very well but the CG was a challenge ( to tail heavy) did not want to add dead wgt so went to the Power 160 on 12s , Perfection. The plane will do anything you want and do it well with this set up. flight time of 12 min. Came in at just under 13lbs
Power 160
(3) 14.8 bricks 4000mah in series, MPi charging switch
Castle creations HV 85 ESC
Ultimate BEC (6 volt)
i4c isolator with 7.4 1650mah (RX power only) Spektrum 7000 with an MPi switch
APC 19x10E ( the best so far, did not like the 20x8E going to try the 20x10 Sunday)
Based on my screwin around I would say the 160 would fly well on 10s if you have the packs, but if you are going to buy them just for this, I would go with the 12s you wont be sorry.
Good luck
Dave

I have the H9 27% 260 my setup is.
E-flite 160 / CC 110hv /22x10 Xoar prop / 5s2p Max Amp 4000mHa batt (6-8min)
spektrum RX / JR 2400mHa rx bat. / 5 ds8411 Servo /3.25 TT spinner.
13.2lb all in
It flys great it slows down real nice, vertical is insane.

RE: 27% Extra 260 electric
Let's see if we can get this thread going again. I have an extra 260 now and am going electric. What things do i need to know as this is my first giant scale? What servos are best? With the DX-7 and Ar7000 what do i need to know about redundancy for reciever batteries and radio hookup?
