Atlantahobby.com the nations largest, electric only flight products company announced today that it would be the exclusive distribution point for the new and exciting Fiber Fusion based Extra 260 from Precision Aerobatics.
About The Extra 260
Precision Aerobatics has broken all of the rules …… again. The new Extra 260 is the third design from PA featuring the revolutionary Fiber Fusion building technique. FiberFusion! is a method of combining carbon fiber, balsa and ply in a way never seen before utilizing the strengths of the fibers within each raw material. The end result is a lighter, stronger, more rigid aircraft. This model is unlike any other in the category and sports many unique and advanced features: Available in three striking colors and sporting a fully air foiled tail section and two-piece removable wings with carbon fiber everywhere, makes the model extremely strong. The Kevlar pull pull rudder system if fully assembled at the factory and the aileron design and construction in this model is exceptional and is made in such a way that the hinge gap is completely sealed. This is quite complex to produce as the ailerons fit "into" the wing trailing edge tunnels and are glued and aligned in the factory much like a giant scale plane. The production of the ailerons in this way, allows perfect aerodynamic flow over the airfoil and results in maximum efficiency of the control surfaces and light weight and large wing area makes for a power to weight ratio using the suggested Torque 2818/900 motor second to none!
Cliff Whitney, CEO of Atlantahobby.com recently stated “Fiber Fusion has changed the way we think of a quality ARF. Light weight and the use of lots of carbon for stiffness means high performance. Take a look at the extensive list of advanced features and I am sure you will agree. Atlantahobby.com has a strong relationship with the designers and engineers at Precision Aerobatics in Australia and I am happy to be working with them once again for the third in what I am sure will be a long list of Fiber Fusion planes.“
