Check out the new 100cc Extra 300SP from PAU. It made its debut at Joe Nall, and I've been lucky enough to hold on to it for a few weeks and get some stick time. Its an awesome flier, no coupling (no mixes needed), and performs any kind of manouver extremely well. It'll fly everything from IMAC to 3D, and do it well. This is the prototype, but very little will change in production.

These are the specs quoted from Herve:

The 100cc Extra prototype is indeed 26lbs, weighed on my postal scale.
The fuse is 21lbs, the wings are 5lbs (I am not fudging the numbers, as the numbers happened to be even on the 21 and the 5).
The wings area is 1,903 sq inches, wing span is 105" length is 96" w/o spinner (101" with spinner).

The set up is:
DA-100L / Pitts mufflers / PAU 28-3Db laminated prop / 4" Nolimitz FG Spinner.
3ea Fromeco 2600MAH batteries, and 3 Sahara Regs.
6ea Futaba 9156 Servos, 1ea Futaba 9602 (throttle), 1ea Hitec 225 (choke), 3ea Futaba MSA-10 servo synch.

The only thing that is different while I am flying it, is that I switched out the receiver for a Hitec Optima 9, and am flying it on my Aurora9.

There are more photos of it floating around the giants, which we will try and get in here, and once the rain passes I'll be posting up some video for you all to check out. In the mean time, check out the pics!

Here are a few shots of the new Extra at Joe Nall 2010. What a great-flying machine! The plane was very well-received by everyone who saw it.

Ok Guys here is my addition to the Photo Gallery.

Photo of bottom of plane?

I'm looking for a replacement airframe right now. When did you say it was going to be available?

Here is a shot of the bottom of the fuse. It will be at least a few months before the production versions are available, I'm sure Herve will comment on that fact.

Tom - thanks for posting the pics!

My Pleasure.

saw the airplene at the nall and it is just flat out gorgeous, put all others on hold. had the 50cc and no mixing what so ever, don lowe is flying it now and loves it. the only problem i have is cant see it very well in the air but i am old. maybe a little more red on the top. cant wait till they hit the states. good job pau, nice talking to you all at the nall.

HOT...TOOO...TROT!! Smokin' good lookin' plane. There are so many, really cool, quality, airframes coming out right now it's overwhelming.

Nice job PAU!!

Flyfalcons...I saw this plane in your avatar and thought it was a custom build something or other, now I'm hip to your scene.

Well Guys, this is the first of a few videos of the Prototype Extra.
This is of Herve's first flight with it at Joe Nall 2010.

PAU 100cc EXTRA 300 sp First Flight At Joe Nall (4 min 5 sec)

Looks like another very good flying and looking plane in the PAU lineup.

Will he have another color scheme for that plane?

This is the only color scheme it will be available in.

Herve offered me the chance to bang the sticks a little on the prototype at Joe Nall... What an awesome machine.

Very nice looking airframe.

Tom,

Thank you for posting the video; the sights and sounds reflect well the chaos during this flight: I was mostly preoccupied with avoiding others and not focused on flying the plane...
Flying at Joe Nall takes some getting used to compared to the clam of my island flying...

Production of this plane will be launched in the next few weeks, along with a couple of other planes. If everything goes without a hitch, we have it in September.
In any case, it will definitely be this year.
