RE: PHOENIX EXTRA 300S
Today was the maiden flight of the Tower .75 in the Extra!!!!!!!!!
All i have to say is WOW........
12 x 7 zinger, a little weight in the tail by means of 60 cents in form of nickels and unlimited vertical galore!
It's almost as if the engine was MADE for the extra...
Not a lot of run time with the stock "shot size" fuel tank but a flex tank is on its way.
The landing came in VERY HOT and it was hard to slow down this bird.....The landing was firm and the wet grass field anchored the gear clean off the fuselage...
This is a weakness i read about a lot on RC universe and i decided to put some strength into the structure now with some fiberglass and thicker plywood instead of hot glued BALSA!
You can't ask for much out of a 100 buck plane but all in all it's a BLAST.
More to come.
