I call this my pre-op/post-op/recovery plane.
It's served me well being a small, lightweight, simple electric I fiddled and flew during the time I was dealing with osteo/hip issues and hip replacement recovery.

It was perfect for keeping my flying chops up when I couldn't handle the big guy planes. I'm good now and can leap tall buildings, but this plane has definitely filled a void and is an absolute blast to take out on a moment's notice.
It will do anything in the book!!

I've since added the side-force-generators on the wing tips and they truly enhanced performance even more.

Pictured with the 52Extra is an older EF 300E 58" I acquired and have since passed that one on to a friend to enjoy.

Acquired this beautiful ship a few years back, and gave it some love and attention, of which it didn't need much, but I graced it with new batteries, fuel tank/ plumbing, and much needed wire/equipment management, and a good detailing... etc.

It was already a contest proven, award winning airplane in the Unlimited IMAC class, so I didn't want to alter it much at all.

DA170 w/tuned pipes. SmartFly EQ6-Turbo power board, etc..

Monster power from this DA 170 twin.

Picked up this little guy for a song, incomplete and nearly unstarted.. I more like rescued it from the trash can. Whomever worked on it prior had a rough start, but I was able to pull it out from the ruins. Still haven't flown it, but plan to in very near future. I call it the nicest $100 ARF I've ever bought.

BME 102, Spektrum stuff, etc.. should be a great flyer, and the engine is strong! Looking forward to this one, and getting a direct comparison to my Extra 330L. Most things considered it's set up with nearly identical equipment, so it will be a great comparison in airframes.

Great Planes 33% Extra 330L. Gifted to me in 2017 incomplete and unfinished. I actually have the same kit NIB, so it was easy to glean information, as well as I've studied this particular plane for years.

BME 102 twin cylinder. Spektrum electronics, and other fancy stuff. Another great flyer, and perfect for Basic/Sportsman IMAC, but definitely for the more experienced pilots.
It does have its traits I identified early on.
Very nice plane though once we got to know each other.

Midwest 27% Extra 300S. I built in 2001.

BME 50, and other stuff. All electronics were updated in 2016. Great flyer I hope to have many more years.
