any video yet?

No, and to be honest it'll be hard to get any until an event. Nobody at my flying field seems capable of pointing a camera in the general direction of an airplane. I think there's some video of Chris's 104" Extra from some events this season though... I'll try to find some. There is a video of me flying some freestyle aerobatics with it at an IMAC contest, but it doesn't really do it justice as the airplane was still set up for IMAC. I'll try to post that link later.

Here's an old video of the first 104" Extra:

2010 XFC RJ Gritter Unknown RD 4.avi (4 min 42 sec)

Thanks for the nice video RJ. Money is burning a hole in my pocket. Hope it is available soon. Any insider info?

The design is finalized and they "should" be in production... there are always variables...

Chris is leaving on Monday for China for some face time with the Factory for a few weeks.... This is one of the reasons EF excels... we really have a hands on approach with the factory....

Chris will be finalizing a few new designs.... I could tell you, but would have to kill you!

but also, we'll know more on the 104" and how far along they are...... and about when they could be shipped....

Now that would be sweet

are they 100cc sized?

You guys better be finalizing the 90" Extra

DON'T make me come down there and speed things up!

Here's another video of the Extra from the Mocksville IMAC contest.

Disclaimer... first 3D flight on the airplane, still set up with short arms on the tail... so this is what it looks like with about half the available elevator throw, maybe 60% of the rudder throw, and a lean low-end mixture keeping me from having too much fun!

I've been ordered to drag my butt out and fly tomorrow... so if the weather looks good and I don't wake up feeling any sicker, maybe I'll get CSpaced to get some new video for us!

LOL.......


What would be really great is that everything goes perfectly and we can have them in time to be finished, with atleast 50 flights before Joe Nall 2012

I know I don't really know you all that well RJ, but you suck....

If you really want to handicap your flight leave one wing and one stab off

Nice flying.

I might have missed it - if so sorry - what is the Fuse length from Spinner to Rudder?
