Default Aviation Models 42% Extra 330 WOW!!!

Just finished flying this plane for the second day and I am really impressed with it. I have the 35% yak and have flow one of the 40% yaks and all I can say is this is the best one of his planes I have flown. I have roughly 6 flights on it and I am very comfortable whith what it can do. The plane has no tendancy to roll out of knife edge and pulls every so slightly to the gear. A little mixing and it will be gone. The plane does awesome waterfalls and hovers very easy. I found myself switching to low rates to hover because the controll surfaces had so much authority. Today I was trying knife edge to knife edge snaps and just about have those down on this plane. I am really impressed with this plane and how well it flies. I am kinda surprised at how little press this plane has gotten. With the yak craze and now the 260 craze I think people are missing the boat on this plane. I also think they should update the pictures to thier website as the pictures there do not do this plane justice. Enclosed are some pictures of it from friday and I will post a video of it next week.

You might want to put a bigger rudder on it.

I can see why you switched to low rates, that rudder looks big enough to change the earth's rotation!!!!

Nice looking bird, keep us posted on future flights.

Ahhhh, one thing I didnt try with that thing today! Next weekend, we'll give it a go! Definetly impressed with the way this extra flew. First time on the sticks, I had no problem man-handling it a bit. Completely predictable in all attitudes just like my 37.5% Yak.

Bryan, definitely a sweet bird! Thanks for letting me try it out. This plane has been entirely underrated. A true sleeper and a keeper!

Sweet plane bro!! Do you mind if I take that off some sweet jumps!! One thing you did not touch on was this plane is awesome at harrior rolls and inverted harriors. It really is a sweet flying plane, but with the craze of Yaks its hard to move them.

Time to bring it low, real low, next week I hope, Extras are becoming rare these days, I give you credit for breaking the rules and getting one instead of the Yak, all I see is Yaks everywhere, good choice, looks good and flies nice good luck.
