I have been modeling since the early 60's. I have always built my aerobatic planes from a kit and build for other individuals as well. When we un-boxed our 42% Extra 260 and 39% Extra 300LP from Dietrich I was at a loss for words at the design and craftsman ship from the first peice unwraped. Not to mention the efforts from the owner Kevin Dietrich himself to answer any questions and listen to concerns of ours. Anyway I flew a 38% C/A Extra300L last year(my first arc ever) well needless to say I was not as impressed as I am with the Dietrich model. Now for the best part after a few days the plane was ready for it's maiden voyage. I know everyone has those first flight gitters even though we have done it a hundred times. After one more check of everything I was ready, and WOW no sooner than the plane was airborn it was a 4 point roll on takeoff, this plane felt like I had flown it for years it was just that comfurtable of a feeling at 50 yards down the runway. I am here to say that if you get a chance to fly one or are considering a new plane that either one of these planes are top choice, I can't say enough about Kevin and his products you really need to get the expeirence for yourself. Buy the way both planes are setup with the harware that comes with the plane(except for the prolink pushrods and central hobbies carbon on the rudder) all JR 8611a's and JR 8711 servos, JR 955 rec, Power box 40/24-12 , and Duralite Plus batteries. The power from the 3W-157ss engines is more than enough power for anything you desire to fly wether it be IMAC, freestyle, or a Sunday flying machine.
