Either those two ladies are both petite or the plane is really big(?) . How thick are the elevator, rudder and aileron parts? Are those simple 6mm depron? Looks so nice and sturdy.

Thanks,
Rico.

Status: offline 		They are both petite but the Extra 260 is a good size plane and yes it is very sturdy (6mm)!! I have abused my Extra...WOT snaps...tumbles whatever...I can't hurt it!! I am working on some video...and I will say it here that it is hands down the best single wing plane I own for high alpha knife edges...no coupling at all...locks in and I have personally ran an entire battery in knife edge! The day I took this picture I had lost control (my fault) in a hover and crashed it...not even a scratch! Everytime I am out flying...it always gets a lot of attention...and when people come over to see it they can't believe it is foam...it has become my everyday plane...heck I fly it in front of my house...it is that easy to control. Video coming soon!

Status: offline 		Hey everyone! Just got back from flying with the new Turnigy 2217 16turn 1050kv 23A Outrunner and all I can say is WOW!! Power on this motor is amazing!! Hovers at a click above 1/2 and pulls hard at 3/4. Power is smooth and looks great in the nose. I am using an 11X5 Xoar and tried everything from a 1300 to a 2100 and the results were very similar...I did like the extra punch with the 20C 2100. Great motor...out for a few more packs before dark!
