Glad to see that this business model still works here. I have been waiting for one of the new 78" Extra 300s for just short of a year. I know when it gets here next month, it will be a special product, and I will be happy I waited.

Thanks...You cant believe the dedication Chris has towards the finished product. He also donates so much too which basically is supporting and putting back into the hobby.
The 78" Extras are going to be great. The electric version has been flown quite a few times...Awesome! I had gotten the 78" Gas version almost done and its back in the shop getting the motor mounted....the motor was delayed and thus the finished plane delayed but its a great plane. I cant wait to fly the gas version.

To my knowledge they are on the water or will be VERY soon...

Yes they'll send us an email I guess. Don't think they accept pre-orders.

Depends which country you are in. The EF distributor was the first one to go under in the UK and we haven't had a supply since I've tried ordering spares only to have my order rejected. The only stockest in the UK supply at almost twice the price of the nearest rival

Once you could not go to a club without seeing EF models on the flight line, now they are rare in the UK.

I am glad you guys receive such fantastic service, truely I am but it is a different story over here which is such a shame. They had one of the biggest followings and a fantastic support service here once but that has all gone.

I still have my EF 88" Yak and still love it though

We are in discussion with a few UK dealers and hope to have a solution for our UK customers soon.

Sweet! I need one! ;-) Chris, I have to say that the lines of this Edge surpass all others that I've seen. You hit the nail on the head, and I can only imagine how it will fly!

is the Cap still going to be released???

[EXTREME FLIGHT]

Thanks Daniel! Really looking forward to this one getting into the hands of the resident 3D junkies here on FG.

[EXTREME FLIGHT]

Yes, the Cap is still in the works. The Cap has taken quite a bit more work and revisions to make sure it lives up to our (and your) expectations. We've just received a new set of wings with a bit less dihedral than the previous versions. We're doing our best to alleviate as many of the coupling issues as possilbe associated with the high stab placement of the Cap. There is no way to make a Cap fly as pure as a Yak or mid wing Extra, but this one is going to be close!

Also courtesy of Mr. Smith, a few shots of the red/white/blue/silver color scheme. Please keep in mind that these photos are actually of the new 48" Edge 540T-EXP as I don't have a 50cc version in this color scheme yet.

Improved cowling Mine of the Extra 300 is literally deteriorating after 300+ flights.
And what is the ring on top of the cowling?

[EXTREME FLIGHT]

It's one of our EF fuel caps. Available here: http://www.extremeflightrc.com/html/Accessories.html
