Oh my. Did you see how much throw he put into that plane. Jeez.
This is Maarten's setup for the Extra in the video :

Throws: all 60° except rudder= 50°
CG: +3.0 cm
eng: 12 kw, torque: 40%
prop: 31x10.6 max rpm= 8200
gross weight= 15900g

Enjoy !
Thanks for the numbers.

Question: There were three CG numbers. Which one is +3 cm? Also the units were in english units. Must be the English version. Also I wonder where he shaved off the weight. I just left the CG alone and took two lbs off the engine. I must say this is spoiling me having that much control over the models. They hover at 1/4 throttle. Unreal.

Also I made the rudder 60 percent. Tight knife edge loops for sure! Plus it's fun to harrier on your side.
