Still aint seen no pics of of cap tree trimin yet... :wink:

Cool lookin build though...for a FAT GIRL... :lol:
The fuse in the second pic reminds me of the Wizard of Ozz. :?
Looks good dude! Looks like it's built pretty light! Whatcha using for Batts??
Hey Jess, I have heard that the way you have that motor mounted is incorrect as per BME's preferred method. While dowels will work great, for other engines the back plate on the 110 is build so light they are concerened about the moutning tabs breaking when mounted like you have yours. I believe they recomend having a flat plate mount like a piece of ply or something. FWIW??

I haven't seen one of these engines up close, but a good buddy has one and that is where I am getting my info. He said Keith at BME was the one who told him that.
Brian, the motor was mounted at TBM. This plane comes in ARC form only. I will call Keith and see what he has to say.

Batts will be Fromeco Li-ion.
Yo Rozmanowski,

Glad to see you've started that TBM! Did you get my inspirational video? I still have a much longer version of that video project just waiting for the addition of your TBM with smoke! I see in the photo that the headless horseman is still flying your cap! :D Got both my YS's back from YS performance yesterday, so I should have a couple more airplanes to play with next week. I think you are the only Memphis MO FO that has not flown my big profile Yak! :shock:

Keep up the good work on the TBM!

See ya at the field

I have been eyeballing getting a set of those for my new plane as well. From what i hear they are working just fine for quite a bit less than duralites! You using one reciever, and dual batts?
Nice looking plane Jess....dont see to many 260s around these parts. The Edge craze seems to have gotten most ppl.

I laughed my a$$ off at that video Mark. It was a killer one. I love watching big gas smoke it up on the deck.

It had the desired results, thanks.
A build thread for an ARC.....what a bonehead!
Looks really good Jess..............

LMAO Spinner!

Mark......Actually, I haven't flown any of yer bitches.....but then again, you've watched me try to learn to do slow harrier turns, so I understand! :roll:

Hey Jess, Glad to see you building again.... That's gonna be a sweet bird...
Thanks Paul and John.

Hey spinner, just to satisfy you I will ask the moderator to change the topic title to "Troy built models extra 260 ASSEMBLY". What a tool.
Dont go changing anything for me Rozmanowski.........I was just busting your balls :wink:

It is a nice looking plane and if it comes out as light as you forecast she'll be a 3D Monster. And Im sure you'll let KeyKey fly it when you get it ready :wink:

Just checking to see if I had to kick your ass for kicking me out of the GS forum.........apparently not....yet. :wink:

And whats this "What a Tool" comment? Im not sure if you were slamming me or not Mr. Von Rozmanowski.
I think Jess was calling you a tool. Of course I have to agree! :D
Ive been told by numerous women that I have a nice tool, but Ive never been called a tool by someone like Von Rozmanowski.
