	Thanks boostoman, for posting the link, again. Nice thread hopefully I can add to it somewhere. I didn't like the tab hinges, just seemed like too much force needed to hold the surface at full deflection. Lot of good points there though....Cheers

	No worries boostoman, its is a great thread and a must read for anyone considering this aircraft. I know where you are talking about Hoverin, I have driven past many times however I did not know you could fly there. Do you belong to a club or do you go of your own accord..? I can’t think of a better place to find a smooth runway in every direction.. I just go down and fly at the local park however I was thinking of joining a club.. I’m trying to attach a pic of my Extra. Snappy said something about a tree with a blue arrow but I only get an icon with a green tree and it only gives me the same option you had "enter the web address of the image", but I’ve done a bit of address cuttin and pastin so I’ll see what happens....... OK that didnt work.... Edited by Turbo14 - 01/Feb/2012 at 7:42pm

	Hi all, just a quick update on my extra 260... Took it out again last weekend and it performed very well, however I’m still in sport mode... Not converted to 3D yet. I have bought this new motor and some props to try and get my power train setup correctly.

	Hi Hoverin Yes me too, I ordered the motor two weeks ago and it was posted yesterday because of the holidays, so should see it in a week or two. It should drop right in... I Hope... What Kv is your motor and what size battery do you plan to use....?

	Hi Turbo, Here's the Motor And ESC I have a mate that used to have a Zivko Edge,(met an untimely demise) roughly the same size as this bird. He ran 2x2200 3s Turnigy's in parallel. Had stupid flight times 10-15min plus. I'm going to look at this setup initially and if happy will stick with it. In hobby room at the moment :-)

	Hi Hoverin Looks like this will be an excellent combo... I have received a plug harness I ordered to try a twin battery setup(could have made it but so cheap to buy) have not used as yet... 15 mins in the air would be great... Will wait and see how the new motor works out first. Edited by Turbo14 - 22/Feb/2012 at 6:25pm
