RE: Midwest Extra 300xs Build
Can't say personally how the Midwest flies, however from all the reading I have done, it will pretty much do what the pilot skills allow. As far as 3D, It's a matter of equipment, setup, balancing and such.
The Brison 3.2 engine is awesome. It came off of a 29% Ultimate a friend of mine had. The DA 50 would probably be another good choice for this plane, its a little lighter, yet it does cost more.
There are probably others who have owned this model and will chime in for more accurate flight reports. Personally, I can't wait to fly this build, however IT will be far more capable than I am.
