RE: Ca 27% extra or midwest extra?
I'm flying my MW one (in my Avitar) with the Moki 1.8. It's a fun airplane and has unlimited vert., but not much more than that. Would need more power to be a great 3Der. Also, it's a pretty long build. The kit was engineered great, but still a lot of work. With all the ARF's of the same size now, I personally would not build another Extra of this size from a kit.
