How has it held up with the Saito? Is the covering still on? I have an Inspire that flies freaking awesome, but the covering is peeling off, despite the fact that it is billed as glow airplane. Same thing with a Reactor.

Is it true that it comes with a pilot, panel, and wing bags? (edit: guess it does. Awesome!)

How's the power of the 82? I'm thinking of fitting a 100 that I've got kicking arround - Do you think it would be possible to shoehorn it in?

Are metal geared servos required for the EF 58" Extra 300 or will a mini servo with nylon gears work?

Thought you all might find the interesting. A frame from the film "Fly Low China Girl" shown at the SEFF 2008 Higher Plane Film Fest on Saturday night. This is the factory in China that makes the Extreme Flight planes including the 58" Extra. -Fred

Use Metal-Geared servos in this plane. The Hi-tech 225MG's work well in this.....

I fly mine with a 5s Evo 3700. Plenty of power and 8 mins with 3.8 volts per cell when finished. Go with the 3850.

Wow - i wonder how the worker's feel about guys who like RC planes! At least they have work I suppose, but it is still strange to think that my ARF is handmade - really just a very inexpensive "professionally built" model aircraft. When I by something that is cheaper I always think mass automated production.

What are the conditions like in the factories? Is pay reasonable when compared to other factories in the area?
