      I have yet to find an SF260 model with scale undercarriage. The real one sits a lot lower on its main gear, which provides more ground clearance for the propeller.

        Aros,

        Any indication when these will hit the shelves, or when the pictures of the spares and upgrades will be placed on the website?

            On the sf-260 I can't decide where the esc should go, I was not sure right behind the motor on the top or the bottom of the plane in the very front
