RE: W.M. Extra 300 S
It would lessen the weight required for sure, but you will need some weights in there, unless you going to find a servo to equal the weight out.
IMHO the added weight is not going to make much of an effect on the flight, ith a DA50 on there she will be fine.
Did a maiden on the Magic 3D today, running her an OS 46AX had to offset her nose weight by 180 grammes on the rear and thats a small plane, that os 46AX on there sure is heavy. But the wing load can easily handle it.
My rates are way off, and no expo whatsoever on there, it toke one millimeter of elev movement on the TX that resulted in a wall.
Will put her to something more workable.
Think the extra will require some expo in there as well as 3 rate modes.
