Default Maiden Voyage for GP Extra 300



On Wed. 08/20/03 at 18:56 hrs CT, I taxied her out on to the runway. Realizing that sooner or later we would face this situation, I started to roll on the throttle and not look back!

As she ripped down the runway, she gently lifted into the air as if she had done this numerous times before. Once air borne she required a couple of clicks to the right along with a couple of clicks down and hands off was achieved!!!!

I was not sure how this plane would handle, as I moved the servos to the rear and put a OS .61 up front. What I did find, was that half throttle flew extremely well.

This is the Great Planes Extra 300 .40 ARF that I recovered and made the above mentioned mods to.
