I've had one for awhile now but haven't flown it lately. I don't have anything against Saito engines but I started out with the 82 in this one and got tired of the deadsticks. Power and weight was about perfect... right at 5 lbs with a 14x4 apc. I mainly fly gas but like to keep 1 or 2 glow planes going and have always had great experiences with O.S. so I think the Extra is getting the new 81 4 stroke if I can find a decent deal on one. It's 2 ounces heavier but the power should be insane. In the pics it is 3 lbs 13 oz with everything but motor and prop. I'm running 3 Hitec 5245 (ele.&ailerons) 1 Hitec 81 (throttle) and 1 Hitec 5625 on the rudder, electron 6 RX, Flight Power 800mAh Lipo w/ Smartfly regulator and 11oz tank but will probably go to 8oz tank depending on fuel consumption of new motor. The approx 10 flights I have on it were enough to know that this is no different than any other E.F. plane with awesome flight performance and I couldn't believe how light it is on the wings, it reminded me of my profile on the first liftoff.
