Default PAU 30% Extra 300SP

Hey Guys 'n' Gals,

The big brown truck dropped of my new Extra 300SP from "Performance Aircraft Unlimited" today.

The two boxes arrived here safe and sound (from the west coast all the way to the east!), so far I've unboxed everything to check it out. I snapped some quick pics with my cell phone, and rest assured I will be taking a lot more pics as I put it together. I'm planning on running a DA-50 with pitts muffler, 8411 servos on the ailerons and elevators, an 8611a or 5955 on the rudder, all powered from a 2400mah Li-Ion regulated to 6volts on a Spektrum AR7000 receiver.

This kit has everything, wheels, fuel tank, complete hardware including H9 titanium pushrods, you can check out more infor on the kit here:

I'd imagine they are the same as the Su-26. Nylon outside with light padding inside. Not the most durable bags but work for routine trips to the field. Plus they are free.

Looks good Chris. I've got a spare 5955 for your rudder... come on over and get it.

I don't have the wing bags yet, but I assume they are the same quality as the ones that come with the Sukhoi - which have kept my Sukhoi wings in great shape so far!

Thanks for the servo Jeff!

The wing bags are the same as the Sukhoi bags. They were delayed in production. They should ship to us in the next few days, and we will send them separately to all who already received their planes.

Hey Chris,

With the high level of prefabrication on these planes, I would imagine you are about done by now, no?

Awfully quiet on your part, you're probably out huckin' it already!!

You're right about the prefab, everythings just about done for you. Glue in the rudder, put it up on its landing gear, and drop in your electronics - and you're good to go!

I'm quiet because I'm building it! I'll post some more pics up later today.
