Extra 260 Review by Clarence Boudville

Patric Eckerle

Today it was my first flight with PA Extra 260. I have never flown a plane like this with such a precision and great fun. Well done, this is really a world class product!
Best regards from Germany

After building this piece of art and then maidening it yesterday, I must say I don't regret jumping on this plane. Several reasons why I chose the 260 is that it is lighter and therefore my 2170mah 3 cell lipos will not be as abused and I get longer flight times.

After flying the 260, I must admit that this plane is incredible. I really like it with a 13x6.5e. Most of the flight was at less than 1/2 throttle and it still was phenonemal vertically. I was doing maneuvers lower and better after just a few flights. I love the KE this plane does. I have always had some trouble keeping a steady KE on my other planes even with mixing, but this plane KE so well. I was doing KE circles and snaps in just the 2nd flight. Hovering this plane is a breeze. I am amazed at how well this plane flies and how stable it is. This is definitely a keeper!

The maiden was a non event. The 260 is rock solid and with the cg at the 98mm mark there is no, none, nada, coupling in knife edge. Just roll to the side and it stays. In fact I was doing KE to KE snaps the length of the field and what impressed me was it had no tendency to want to over rotate in the snaps. Release the sticks and it stops. With the cg at 98mm it needs such a light touch inverted that it's basicly neutral. For guys looking for a precision/IMAC plane this 260 will be great. The PA guys did there home work on this one!

Iinverted harriers locked right in. Hovers are the proverbial "piece of cake". Upright and inverted flat spins flatten out nicely and it will do sweet blenders.

Ready to fly weight with battery is 32.7 ounces. Koudo's to the folks at PA.

Maiden flight today. Mild breeze, this thing flies on rails! One click trim was all she took and inverted was practically hands off. Cruising at 1/4 throttle, will float at hardly any throttle. Cut throttle and ease up to full elevator and she floats down in a gentle harrier. Knife edges are clean and she tracks well and easily does KE patterns. All else I can say is WOW!!! Good Job Precision Aerobatics!!!
