Flight Report: Aerotech 42% Extra 300!

Ryans Rebel · 04-09-2006, 10:50 PM

Flew my new Aerotech 42% Extra 300 for the first time today. SWEET! This thing flies lite and tracks very well. Upline are straight and down line require only 1.5% mix. It apperas that mixing is required on both the pitch & roll axis but very little should be required. The snaps are very clean, this thing STOPS when you let go. The mid-wing presents well and makes rolls axial.

Overall:

10 out of 10. If any of you are considering a 40% ship, you owe it to yourself to seriously consider this model. John at Aerotech was a great help while I was building the kit and offers help whenever he can.

I have a feeling the Aerotech Extra 300 will be all over the IMAC scene very soon!

FYI Running Mejzlik 30-12, DA-150 w/ MTW cannisters and all Futaba equipment (9) 9152s (1) 9202 & (1) S148.

Ryan, looks good dude... hope to see you at the nall if not see you at the nats...lol i will be practicing...

Ryan, Glad you like the 300, I like it so much I am thinking about selling my yak to have one of those built. Have to wait until after the NAts though, so I have a plane to practice and go to the NATS with. Glad you enjoy the plane.

OMG my eyes!!!! Please get some graphics on it!!!

Nice plane, congratulations

Ryans Rebel · 04-10-2006, 10:10 AM

Graphics are coming, along with a spinner!

Some additional info on the Aerotech Extra 300: For comparison purposes, it took 50 or so flights to get my 37% Aeroworks 300L where I wanted it. After only 6 flight with the Aerotech 300, I'm 80% there. Another dozen flights and it will be right where I need it. No doubt I could be competitive with it now!

Like I said. A great flying model.

Mike,

I have never flown the Yak. It would be a shame to sell it as I'm sure it is a great flying model. But......if you decide to, you won't be disapointed with the 300!

O yeah Ryan, I know I wil be happy with the 300, Currently I am using John Nelon's 300 for my freestyle flights and it will also Serve as my back up plane for the NATS. Hope to see you there, I am planning on going to the Pensacola IMAc so I might see you there also.

flyguy667355 - congrate on 3rd in freestyle at the venice imac, i was very impressed with your freestlye. Keep up the good work and i will see you in a few weeks at the spring classics. Bring your A game as one of us needs to bring home the Grand Champion award this year. You have a great chance at it if you work on your freestyle a bit more. Give me a call if you need any hep with it. I am going to be practicing mine a bunch as I would really like to get that award this year.

Later guys.
