I rode in a Extra 300 one time,, it was KILLER<< I did great, never once got sick or anything,, the negative cuban 8's got me sweating alittle but other than that it was great,,, the best part of the hole trip was on takeoff,, as soon as we broke ground and got up to about 50 foot(really fifty foot) he snapped it to inverted,, I like to have ^&(^ ,,,,, I was grinning after that the whole aerobatic flight,, since then I have been wanting a extra 300 but there is only one problem the 250-350k seems to be getting in the way,,

I knew a guy once,,,,,,, He was strapped into the seat of a P-51, engine running,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Smile'n ear to ear. Then,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the pilot did a last second aileron check and the guys knees were preventing the stick from full travel. Try as he may, he could not fold his legs in half to fool the pilot. Pilot says over the head phones,,, "Ummmmmmmm,is this all we have?" Passenger,,,seeing the problem, and without hesitation says,,," Uhhh,,,what did you say?"
Pilot repeats,,,,, passenger,,still trying to fold his legs back behind his head says,,,,,,," "Ummmmmmm,,,,,,,yep" Pilot says,,,,,,,,,,,,, Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh,,,we have a little problem!
Passenger says,,,,,,,,,,,well,,,actually he didnt say a da## thing!!!! Passenger relunctantly unstraps, crawls out, and sadly watches while his buddies loud mouth wife gets to take the PASSENGERS ride instead!

Hey,
Has anyone found the video on Youtube of the 3-d plane in this month AMA that bends the fuse in flight? It was someone like O'brian?
Thanks

It was so nice today that I joined a bunch of RDRC members for an enjoyable afternoon of flying at the field. You'd never know it was Dec. 23! Here's some pics.....

Oh yeah, and everyone give your congrats to Bill Fillmore.

Larry and I signed him off for his turbine waiver today. He did a great job and will be right at home with his Reaction in the "jet ranks"!
