Brand new to Al is this 40% SCALE Extra 260. During this season Al found himself short of flying hours with the aerobatic/3d type model. Being that this is a style of flying that requires constant practice to keep current on this was not an ideal situation to be in.

An email to Mark Schroder had Ali sold on the latest offering from composite-arf. The all new Extra 260. Al was familiar with this range of models as he was the original rep for the UK, and he knew of their pedigree. The Extra 260 at 3 meter span is the newest edition to the fleet and was designed to be the ultimate blend between 3d performance and precise flying. This suited Al’s demands well as he was tending to steer away from out and out 3d flight. Not only did Mark supply the model he also built it for Al, in a short time span as well. Al collected this model the evening before heading to the Cosford LMA show. Al conducted the test flight after the show had finished on the Saturday evening, and from flight number 1 it was obvious that the Extra had massive potential.

The model is fitted with a DA150 Twin cylinder 150cc 18 hp engine. What sets this engine apart from the other petrol engines is the way it is crafted. Stunning precision engineering is used in all the DA engines and they supply engines only to the RC model market of the highest quality. No adapted strimmer or industrial use engines come out the DA factory. Al has fitted two stainless steel Zimmerman mufflers. Through years of use Al has found these to be far superior to any Aluminum muffler available. A lot quieter, more rugged and tuned for a better throttle response the Zimmerman’s are the rolls Royce of the muffler world. JR 8511 servos are used through out this model. Two per aileron two per elevator half and four on the rudder ensure that no mater what the speed or the attitude of the model 100% control authority is retained at all times.

A single JR PCM Synthesized 10 channel receiver is used with Al's trusty MX22 providing the guidance. Al of the electronics in the model go through Al’s tried and tested Powerbox set up. This model weighs in at 36lbs which with the DA 150 up front gives unlimited vertical that has to been seen to be believed. Another Unique aspect of the 260 is it’s stunning roll rate. As part of Al's demo he fly’s an entire section of the routine while rolling at some 600 degrees per second. Something that has to be seen and heard to be appreciated.
