Aeroworks Extra 260 QB-L 52"

[Luv3d]

Guys,
I got to maiden this 2 evenings ago, just before the sun went down. Pretty strong winds (you can hear it in the audio), but I am VERY pleased with the plane and how it flies. Just a few clicks of trim to get it flying well, and then there was time for some fun before the sun went down.

Mike Elder Flying the AW Extra 260 (with music)

Guys,
Another guy at a club I visit flew this plane in some pretty good wind. He was instantly happy with it, and here is a quick video of him driving it through a few paces....

First Nice Day

Guys,
I got to take this plane out for the first time in low wind conditions. I took the opportunity to run it through a trim chart I use- it took very few tweaks to fly great in all axis. Here are just a couple of pics from the fun I had after finishing my trimming work! Thanks to Matt Malcomb who was the photo whiz! New vinyl done by B and E Graphix- thanks Eric, it looks GREAT!!!!

Glad to hear you got some good stick time on it in low wind conditions!

She looks absolutely beautiful Mark.
Excellent job on the build log!
Now she needs some 3DRCForums Vinyl!

I have some from Santi8, but it's white and won't show well on this model. Like the decals I have on the nose- it disappears too easily. If you have some in black or navy blue- I'll be happy to decorate some more!

Pictures of my Extra 260

Got to go fly the airplane in some nice conditions- a friend of mine took some photos- check them out. Dave is a great photographer, has some nice equipment and an eye for moments that look great.

Even the word great is an understatement! Some of the best flying photos I've seen to date
