Default Extra 300 for 3D ?

Whats everyone's opinion on the Extra 300 as a 3D plane? I already have a 50cc Yak and was looking for a nice 50cc 300..preferably a low wing design..

If you want a low wing design then you don't want an Extra 300. The 300 has a mid wing....higher than the 300S or 300L Extras. As far as 3D goes, the 300 would be fine as long as you have a good wing loading, enough throws and enough power.

The Extra 300 (not the S or L) only has one wing position. Its the higher position like the 260 or similar to the Edge and Yak. If you want a low wing Extra, you will have to get the 300S or 300L. The S is the single place low wing and the L is the 2 place low wing. The 260's and 300's are older versions of Extra's (full scale) but very popular for our models today due to their mid wing design which makes them fly very neutral in knife edge etc.
