Default RE: Second Plane - Extra 300???

... I have a line on an Extra 300 ARF .60 that I could get cheap and get into the air with little work ...
What Extra? If it's a Vector Flight, I'd grab it, even if you don't put it in the air right away. If it's a VNH Line Extra, I'd pass even if it was free. Great Planes ARF? Kit?

Some Extras can fly as nicely as a 4-Star, if you know how to reduce the control throws and manage the throttle. However, the reason they are popular for aerobatics is that they are easy to stall, snaproll, and spin (read "unstable" ) under most flying conditions.

A little more information would be good, but I think most will suggest that you select a fairly stable plane for your next.

Good Luck,
