RE: Aeroworks 50cc Extra 260
Sure...we have a couple of great threads in the Aeroworks factory support section. I love mine. I'm still trimming it for IMAC, but I have about 100 flights or so on it. It is capable of doing more and better than I can do!
Any specific questions?
The hot setup is with the DA-50, header pipe, and canister. Lots of power and fairly quiet. My weight with full fuel load is 16 lbs. 15 oz. That's with a CF wing tube, CF tail wheel, 3 Li-IO packs with MPI regulators, 35% pilot bust and instrument panel, and about 3 oz of weight on the nose. CF landing gear would shave off a few ozs.
Parts are readily available, which I needed after a mid-air collision. The folks at AW are great to deal with. BadBradGrapics.com has a realy nice decal set for the plane.

Just purchased the AW 30% and thinking of using a Brison 3.2 for power. Servos are HiTec 5985 all around. Jake, can you tell me how the CG worked out with the Brillelli? Thanks

RE: Aeroworks 50cc Extra 260
Due to field conditiond I need to put larger wheels on my 50cc 260. I bought some Dubro ulta lite 4" but man they look too wide and will require major grinding on the wheel pants. Any suggestions?
Thanks

With the Brision you are going to want things forward in the fuse.
I also used a 1 cell lipo right over the fuel tank so I was missing the 4 or 5 oz right up front for the ignition battery.
Overall great flying plane.
As far as the wheel pant issue... Just use a dremel and enlarge the holes on the bottom... you aren't going to see it anyhow.
