Rolling harriers require very little control input and effort, ideal for learning to harrier roll for the first time. The exceptionally low wing loading allows ample time to think and react during the maneuvers. Jaw dropping, flashy tight waterfalls are simply easy to perform a few meters off the deck. The blenders stop immediately, meaning that you can do this as low as you want without fear of returning home with a bag full of balsa toothpicks.

One of the biggest PA fans ever, Clarence’s passion brought PA aircraft to Malaysia and inspired an entire community of incredible pilots. This aircraft carries his spirit in every detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on the legendary Extra 260 first released in 2008 – one of PA’s longest-running bestsellers – the 260RR is not a redesign. It is a completely new airframe and a new philosophy, developed from the ground up to create the most refined, best-flying 48-inch aircraft ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the lightest fully built-up 48″ aerobatic model in the world, engineered for maximum efficiency. While other brands rely on heavy, expensive high-voltage setups for short flight times, the 260RR delivers outstanding performance on a simple 3S 2200mAh pack, with long, enjoyable flights. Step up to 4S, and the plane transforms into an absolute high-energy monster, delivering insane roll rates, violent tumbles, and the most extreme aerobatics imaginable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFriendly and confidence-inspiring for newer pilots, yet brutally capable in expert hands, the Extra 260RR excels at slow, locked-in 3D, on-rails precision, and crazy high-energy freestyle – all with easy landings and excellent wind handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not just another model.\u003cbr\u003eIt’s a tribute.\u003cbr\u003eIt’s a celebration of flight, friendship, and passion.\u003cbr\u003eBuilt in RR’s honor.

This is a 48″ airplane that genuinely flies like something much bigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will do every maneuver you can throw at it, and it does them cleanly. The airplane has a real big-airplane presence in the air, with a solid, planted feel that makes precision flying easy and aggressive freestyle feel controlled instead of chaotic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat stood out immediately:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig airplane feel and authority\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrazy fast roll rate and violent tumbles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocked-in, on-rails tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShockingly good slow 3D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery easy, confidence-inspiring landings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles wind far better than a 48″ is expected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the early testing was done on 3S, simply because it already felt so good. Plenty of power, long flight times, inexpensive packs, and a smooth, forgiving character that makes you want to keep flying. On 3S it’s floaty, precise, and incredibly enjoyable — the kind of setup you can fly all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen we tried 4S… and everything changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn 4S, the Extra 260RR turns into a full-on high-energy animal. The same airplane that felt smooth and friendly on 3S suddenly delivers explosive power, insane roll rate, and brutal tumbles — without ever feeling out of control. It honestly felt like the best 48″ we’d flown just got pushed two levels higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-energy maneuvers are effortless: fast snaps, crankshafts, blenders, wild knife-edge spins-  it eats them up. Post-stall performance is equally impressive, with beautifully balanced rolling harriers, rock-solid upright and inverted harriers with no wing rock, and elevators that stay stable all the way down to a spot landing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnife-edge performance is a standout. The rudder authority is incredible. Smooth high-alpha KE, easy transitions straight into a hover, and precise, high-speed KE circuits that add a whole new dimension to precision flying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is one of those airplanes that makes you forget its size.\u003cbr\u003eIt’s predictable, aggressive when you want it to be, forgiving when you need it ,and flat-out fun every single flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSetup - Efficient by Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest wins with the Extra 260RR is just how efficient the entire setup is. Because the airframe is so light and well balanced, it simply doesn’t need huge power systems to perform at the highest level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile other brands are forced to run large, heavy, and costly 6S setups on similar-sized models just to get acceptable performance and short flight times, the 260RR delivers serious power and long flights on our efficient and affordable iPAs setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended setup uses the Thrust 45 Revo 24-pole outrunner paired with a 2200mAh 3S pack. This combination makes the aircraft incredibly responsive, predictable, and easy to manage, with flight times of 6–7 minutes depending on throttle use. It’s smooth, powerful, and forgiving, and you don’t need to invest in oversized batteries or high-voltage electronics to enjoy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant more?\u003cbr\u003eDrop in a 4S 2200–2600mAh pack, and the airplane wakes up in a big way. Power delivery becomes explosive, roll rates go wild, and high-energy aerobatics and aggressive freestyle are taken to another level, all without compromising control or reliability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven the servo choice reflects this philosophy. We run NXT 70HV servos, where other brands rely on much larger, heavier, and more expensive units. The result is a lighter airframe, faster response, and a setup that simply makes sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur complete iPA setup is hands down the best value package you’ll find for this size and performance class, delivering real competition-level performance! This is efficiency done right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction \u0026amp; Hardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Extra 260RR is built with one goal in mind: maximum performance through smart, no-compromise construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the standout features is the fully sealed aileron design. The ailerons sit inside precision-cut trailing-edge tunnels and are factory aligned and glued, completely eliminating hinge gaps. It’s a complex way to build a wing, but the payoff is smooth airflow, higher efficiency, and incredibly crisp control response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttention to detail is everywhere. Wings are matched individually to each fuselage, like some manufacturers do in giant-scale models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all Precision Aerobatics models, only top-grade materials are used, with components cut on advanced laser and CNC machines. Real carbon fiber is used extensively throughout the airframe, keeping the model exceptionally light yet remarkably strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFiberFusion® Construction - Over 20 Years of Doing It the Right Way\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Extra 260RR is built using Precision Aerobatics’ FiberFusion® construction, a method we’ve developed, refined, and trusted for over 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiberFusion® means real, structural carbon fibre - not cosmetic overlays, not painted wood, and not imitation materials made to look the part. Carbon is used exactly where it matters to increase stiffness, reduce weight, and keep the airframe rigid under extreme loads.

This aircraft carries his spirit in every detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on the legendary Extra 260 first released in 2008 – one of PA’s longest-running bestsellers – the 260RR is not a redesign.

While other brands rely on heavy, expensive high-voltage setups for short flight times, the 260RR delivers outstanding performance on a simple 3S 2200mAh pack, with long, enjoyable flights. Step up to 4S, and the plane transforms into an absolute high-energy monster, delivering insane roll rates, violent tumbles, and the most extreme aerobatics imaginable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFriendly and confidence-inspiring for newer pilots, yet brutally capable in expert hands, the Extra 260RR excels at slow, locked-in 3D, on-rails precision, and crazy high-energy freestyle – all with easy landings and excellent wind handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not just another model.\u003cbr\u003eIt’s a tribute.\u003cbr\u003eIt’s a celebration of flight, friendship, and passion.\u003cbr\u003eBuilt in RR’s honor.

Plenty of power, long flight times, inexpensive packs, and a smooth, forgiving character that makes you want to keep flying. On 3S it’s floaty, precise, and incredibly enjoyable — the kind of setup you can fly all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen we tried 4S… and everything changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn 4S, the Extra 260RR turns into a full-on high-energy animal.

This combination makes the aircraft incredibly responsive, predictable, and easy to manage, with flight times of 6–7 minutes depending on throttle use. It’s smooth, powerful, and forgiving, and you don’t need to invest in oversized batteries or high-voltage electronics to enjoy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant more?\u003cbr\u003eDrop in a 4S 2200–2600mAh pack, and the airplane wakes up in a big way. Power delivery becomes explosive, roll rates go wild, and high-energy aerobatics and aggressive freestyle are taken to another level, all without compromising control or reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven the servo choice reflects this philosophy. We run NXT 70HV servos, where other brands rely on much larger, heavier, and more expensive units. The result is a lighter airframe, faster response, and a setup that simply makes sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur complete iPA setup is hands down the best value package you’ll find for this size and performance class, delivering real competition-level performance!

The ailerons sit inside precision-cut trailing-edge tunnels and are factory aligned and glued, completely eliminating hinge gaps. It’s a complex way to build a wing, but the payoff is smooth airflow, higher efficiency, and incredibly crisp control response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttention to detail is everywhere.
