Default RE: Model Tech Extra question....

Well...

I disliked the plastic wheel pants, pilot, area under the canopy, oversized ( almost to the point of not fitting! ) plastic cowl, and wing roots.

These look a bit cheesy and cost more work than they needed to.

Once it's together it flies well.

In retrospect I wonder if I would have been better off with one of these... all would accept your engine.

I've seen little good written on that one. It's supposed to be snappy and not too fun.

No experience with that one.

Haven't seen that one either.

Looks interesting, but haven't seen one up close and personal.

I've got the MT Extra. It's been a good plane. I've flown it with an OS .25F ABC and a Webra .32. Both did quite well although with the Webra it's significantly faster and has much more vertical. Hits are that it flies well, although with the thin wing, landing speed needs to be high, and it looks pretty good. Misses are that the covering tends to lift at the seams, the landing gear blocks are weak, and the plastic filler under the wing was a pain in the butt to fasten right.
