[Kevin Y]

I just wanted to post some photos of the new 2.5m Radiowave Extra 300 that we are putting together. It is almost ready to go we are just waiting on a couple of servos from futaba so we can finish her off.

Setup on it it is
DA 85 with JTEC large can wrap around
4 Futaba 9155's on ailerons
2 Futaba 9155's on elevators
1 Futaba 9156 on rudder (setup as pull-pull)
1 Futaba 5114 reciever
2 2400mah li-ion batteries
Stock Aluminium wing tube, tail tube, and landing gear
4.5" tru-turn spinner (will be changed out for lightened backplate version)

Airplane specs are

Wing Span: 98 inches (2.5m)
Fuselage Length: 86 Inches (2.2m)
Engine: 50cc - 95cc Single

yeah when you look at a profile shot of the plane and then go look at pictures of the real one it does really have that scale look to it. Should be fun.

Really cool.

The scheme is cool as well.
Did you guys do the prototype scheme a well?

I love that scheme too.

What is the plane coming in at with an 85 in the snout?

Sleepy, different airplane. This is the little brother to the one you are thinking of. The one that Andrew has the hacker in is the 2.7m Extra which is the 100cc version and is the same scheme as my avitar.

As for weight of the 2.5m we are bringing the scale home tonight so if I have time I will weigh it before we got to efest. I weighed all the parts individually before we started putting it together and it looked like it was going to be right at 20lbs for a 98" wingspan airplane with the DA85 on the front. It should be fun!

Also that is the completely stock setup with aluminum tubes and gear. If someone wanted to I know you could knock out about 28oz from my personal setup without ever having to get carbon fiber tubes or gear (just in batteries, motor, servos & spinner).

I had a DA-85 in a 23 lb. plane and it was beyond fun. If this on comes in at 20 lbs. with an 85 it will be down right scary

[Kevin Y]

Yeah I have a feeling that we are going to be proping it up a bit

I Love the scale out line it is by far the best looking Extra 300 in scale apperance can you get some pics of the bottom by anychance and of the 2.7m as well?

here is a picture were you can kind of see the bottom of the plane. If you look at the elevators it is the same as the wings.

Kevin-

Both the 2.7 and 2.5 300's should be very popular planes- I hope you sell a ton. I have an older Radiocraft/Radiowave 330 that I got from your Dad a while back and I bashed it into a 300 like this- What a great plane! Just loads of fun- the only thing I wished it had were longer ailerons and you've addressed that in your planes.

I highly recommend these planes.

here is the 2.7 scheme. I have not had time to take pics of the airplane all together but here is the wings top and bottom.
