Default GP Extra 300s 60 size kit pic

Hey SirSid....I was going to reply sooner, but got onto other things. NICE PLANE!!!
It reminds me highly of my GP 40 size EXTRA(the one in my Avatar). I put a 4-stroke .91 in mine. I can't get enough of it. I fly the heck out of it. Weighing in at 6lbs 4oz, it's absolutely unchallenged vertically. To make it stop climbing I need to throttle back to just a few clicks above idle. Hovers decently at a bit less then half throttle(I've been working on it). Tumbles like no tomorrow. Knife edge all day long, slow or fast. It flies better then I do. I'm sure of that. I love the plane. This is my second one(first one identical scheme), I liked the first one so much(didn't have enough time to get to know it before it went in due to mechanical/structural failure), I ran out immediately and bought another one, and built it with upgrades. No problems with EXTRA #2, going strong for almost a year now, I'd say 100 flights at least.

I was surprised when someone brought the 60 size to our field, and the size difference between the 40 and 60 is not all that different. Although the 60 has a bit more fusalage area, and some features I'd really like mine to have. The 2 planes side to side, you have to look closer then I thought you would to tell one size from the other.

You did a fine job with the plane though. I'm sure it flies as good as it looks too.
