Since my Extra died due to a complete lockout Im very tempted to go to a Radiowave.
Can you tell me the pros and cons of the 2 designs?
I have a lonely DA100 looking for a home.
Also as Im in Eastern NC what is the best way to get my hands on a Pak kit?

I have done most the test flying of both airplane and I have to say I prefer the Panzl. I think it is a more universal design. It IMAC's just as well if not better then the Extra but then 3D's like no other airplane I have ever flown. I think that you will find that most guys that have had both kind of prefer the Panzl. The other thing is it is different then everything else.

However I am not saying the Extra is a bad flying airplane by any means, that was my IMAC airplane for many years and I still fly the 40% version. As for the PAK kits I know that there are some Panzl's in stock and a Extra ARF or two in stock.

Thanks, I saw your stuff at Danville and was impressed.
How would we get it to Goldsboro...would it be easier for me to drive over?

I had myself talked out of getting another big gasser, but the wife made me get a Panzl. Looks like she's two-in-a-million now!

They do, but the first one usually takes your planes with her when she goes back on the market.
