Hi!! I have the new Extra 260 33% from Wild hare and i was wondering whats the best servos to get for it? under $100 bucks. I love that plane thanks alot Tom at Wild hare[sm=thumbup.gif] Great plane can't wait to build it and fly it!!!!


Thanks. Dan

Most people are using Hitec 5945s at $80 apiece. Next up would be JR 8611a, great servo but $105 each.

Gizmo,

I fly right out of Boca Raton, FL. If you want I would be more than happy to help you out on your plane. I use all 5945's except for the Rudder which I use two 5925MG's. Response is great and I have had no problems even through tough 3D flying.

Check with Gene Payson at www.troybuiltmodels.com for a great deal on DS8611's...especially if you buy a few at once.

Where do you fly at? I fly at Rc bush Pilots. Do you know where that is? www.rcbushpilots.com Y

yeah I mite need some helpThanks

That servo on Towers website is a TYPO
This is the one you want

Same price.

Shop around, you can find better prices on those than what Tower offers them for.

Yes, except the picture is of the 945 non-digital. Oh, and Tower's price is $10 more than ours.

Oh great we will probably buy from you then

I fly at Goldcoast rc club www.goldcoastrc.com in Boca Raton, FL. Yes buy the servos where you can get them at the better price. Trust me when you are talking about 7+ servos thats a lot of money. Troybuilmodels.com has a lot of great stuff to keep your plane light plus is located here in FL. Checkout his website - will help you a lot. I really wish when I bought the X260 there would have been that great combo deal. Would have saved more $$$. Oh well. At the time I bought the plane from Wildhare, and the rest from Troybuilt models. Dalton aviation built mine (www.daltonaviation.com) because when I got the plane I was still in the Army and had no room in my single shoebox size living quarters. Be happy to help you out though as I did the final touches like servos, rx, ect. I can tell you what I have as far as radio setup at least on the Futaba 9C.

I have a theory about companies like Wildhare and Troybuilt - they make Greatplanes have to work hard and realize what modelers want. I cant imagine flying a GP plane or say my WH with a Heavy FUJI 80 and Nimh. Tower and GP are one in the same by the way.

I could ramble on about the X260 but I wont. Build it light and you will love it. Mine needed no trim to track straight. I still cant get over how slow this thing flys and wont stall or simply fall out of anything I throw at it.

One last thing, what engine do you plan on putting up front? Mine has DA 100 - which is more than plenty If you setup yours with the ZDZ 80 we will need to get together and compare notes!
