Thanks for the compliment.

A new 260! Sweet. DA 100 size even more perfect. I am sick of the Yak thing really am. I had one of the "best" yaks and was completely not impressed. The nice thing about Extra, Edges and Caps is they are a versatile airframe. The Extra is really a jack of all trades. What I enjoyed and still enjoy about an Extra over a Yak is the ability to speed it up for 3D. It seems to recover and respond faster than most all the Yak's I have flown.

From the videos I have seen the 35% Extra flies exactly like the 41%. If you put a 3W106 or BME 115 in that size airframe I can imagine even more ballistic performance. Much more bang for the buck and a plane that flies just as well.

That doesn't really make sense. you should be flying slower with more power for 3d

RE: R and D
 

I thank he means to speed up or out of trouble. I like how my Yak slows down in A down line but I see what Airborne is saying.By the way manny due you still have the Carden Cap?
If so give me A call this is Boots I PM you my cell #.

Another engine option should be available about the same time as the new planes. The 3MM 114 twin is coming very soon, lighter than a 3w or DA twin bu about a half pound and makes power like the BME, but has plenty of cooling and should be very durable and relatively inexpensive.

Dang! Let me know when that boat arrives Tom :)

RE: R and D
 

New planes? Any chance one of them is a 25% sukhoi :D

RE: R and D
 

No, sorry. Maybe next time.

I'm still looking for a good 26cc size engine for the smaller planes. I'm testing one now that's quite good, if it holds up then I may devote more attention to the 25% scale group.
