ok, didn`t go that well. It is a quite fast plane. Ended up with crash. Don`t belive it was all my fault, engine stoped in the air. Tried to make a turn and land but plane went into spin, wasn`t much left to do.
It is repairable, takes two days to fix.
What amazed me was that the extra is so easy to go into spin. Could the problem be in CG, it was bit aft.
Funny was that when i removed the cover i found with regular pen written signature on piece between main spars. Have somebody else found something like this? Does the builder sign his work?
put pic soon.

one more thing. Someone had said the landing gear plate comes off easely not destroying the whole plane. It is true,but bad thing is that when the wheelpants bending back they actually hit the wing and leave remarkable holes in it. Save fuse, loose wing.
Also noticed that placeing the battery behind servos, up on the cockpit floor is not a good idea. Mine got loose and went through everything up to nose, breaking servo plat etc.
well could be a pilot error
since the extra is known to have a stall on the elevator if pulled to hard
i have flown the extra for 6 months and you can bring her in very slowly with no problems , however pull to much on the elevator and she will go one her back like the amsterdam lady,s !!
