Extra 260 Mini Flight w/ DX8

[Tony]

Here is the flight of the Extra 260. the plane has a lot of slop in the control horns and thus doesn't like to go in a straight line, and makes me look even more twitchy than I already am lmao. Have a watch and let me know your thoughts.

Oh, and like the Edge 540T, I now have to tape my canopy on. Lost it on this flight lol.

Every landings a good landing if you don't need to fix anything.

That flight was a 5 minute flight, and I only put in 996mah into a 2200mah battery lmao. Yeah, I'm raising it to 7 minutes next time. As for anything broke, nope. well, other than the peg on my canopy lmao. It's not my fault they didn't provide stronger magnets lmao.

Hows the saying go? "Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing." And trust me, I've had a few that I walked away from...in shame! Airplane was totaled, but only my pride was hurt.

Also, I just saw some Canopy Latches http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__9218__Canopy_Lock_30x8mm_10pcs_bag_.htmlcanopy latches

I just don't trust magnets.
