Control Throws
Here are some starting points for the control throws.
Do not use the 3d settings
until you are thoroughly familiar with the plane on low rates. The 3D rates if
pulled hard at moderately high speed will cause the plane to stall, tumble, and
hunt for dirt.

Fly the plane on low rates at first. The 3d rates are intended
only for extreme aerobatics. If you are in doubt about your
skills, ask a skilled aerobatic pilot to help you with a trainer
cord.
Thanks for Purchasing our 30% Extra 260. We hope it provides you with
many hours of enjoyment. Good luck!

6.5”
Make sure the plane balances at
6.5”. You will probably find this
to be a bit nose heavy, but it
should be safe. If the plane were
to take off tail heavy, it may be
uncontrollable. After 2 or 3 trim
flights, you can move the CG
back 1/8 ” at a time. It flies much
better once the CG is just right.
You can also log on to one of the
popular RC bulletin boards.
There you can find where other
pilots have put the CG on their
Extra 260.
