E-flite Extra 260 3D Profile - Manual (Page 3)

3
Introduction
The Extra 260 3D Profile was designed by Aerodynamicist
and E-TOC champ George Hicks to give profile 3D foamie
fans a great-looking, lightweight plane with competition-
level performance. At the heart of its superb flight
characteristics is a rigid, carbon reinforced Depron foam
airframe. This unique design eliminates flex so control
response is crisp and precise.
The Extra 260 is constructed from 3mm laser-cut Depron
foam—the standard for durability and quality for pro 3D
foamie pilots everywhere. All pieces come with a sharp-
looking factory-applied color scheme.
Carbon Rod Reinforcement
Much of the Extra 260’s exceptional flight performance
comes from its carbon-reinforced airframe that eliminates
flex so control response is crisp and precise. The leading
and trailing edges of the wing come out of the box with
factory-applied carbon strips. Carbon rods are also
included that further strengthen the fuselage and tail.

Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly
easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each
major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed
next to each step to keep track of each step completed.
Steps with a single circle (
 ) are performed once, while
steps with two circles (   ) indicate that the step will
require repeating, such as for a right or left wing panel,
two servos, etc.
Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
