Hi Guys-
I just wanted to share a few pics from the Windy
City Jet meet held July 17th weekend in St. Charles, Illinois. I asked
Mike McConville to come up and do a lunch time demo with the new Extra
260.
|
|
As usual, Mike put on an awesome show! The crowd really enjoyed the change of pace from the jet demos we also had. The 260 looks great, and it looks like Mike really enjoys it.
|
|
This was the first time I had seen the 260 fly, and I might just have to build one this winter! I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Howdy Hope all is well there. I got back from a long trip in Asia a few days ago and am catching up well. Hated to miss the Nall, hope it went well for you. Sorry I couldn't have the 260 there for you. A few days before I left for Asia I flew in Bloomington with Wayne Geffon, Larry Arseneau and a bunch of guys. Had a ball. I let Wayne fly the 260 and he seemed to love it. BTW, attached is my favorite picture of the 260. |

This is Mike's new for 2001 Carden 40% Edge 540 |
|
|
|
3D/Freestyle- The Edge is SUPERIOR in every way
to anything I've flown. Its hovers so easy it’s unbelievable. It does the flip up to the knife-edge slide (ala my '98 TOC Freestyle
takeoff) better than my Cap ever dreamed of doing it. The list just goes on and on. Since I've only gotten 24 flights on it, I'm sure there’s lots more there for me to figure out.
|
|
|
The stability it has in high Alpha "Harriers" is unreal. I'm using coupled spoilerons (ailerons up w/ up elevator) and it will rotate from a harrier to a vertical hover
w/o gaining any altitude, it just rotates! I think anyone who wants to fly 3D should not even consider any model other than this Edge. It really is superior! I really can’t say enough
good about it’s freestyle capabilities. It just does everything better and easier

It looks really nice now I have all the graphics on it |
