I got an Extreme Flight 45" Extra for Xmas but to the bad weather have only just started flying it.
My most aerobatic before this was an Multiplex Acromaster which apart from when I've been trying to learn to harrier / prop hang has never snapped on me and even trying the harriers if I get it totally the wrong the recovery is so quick and easy, the second you dip the nose a little you have it back under control again.
The Extra seems to snap virtually every time in comparison at the 1st opportunity and everytime there's any drop in speed, might something like CoG be causing it or have I only flown extremely forgiving planes until now and it's something you just have to get used to ?
I'm find it quite hard to adjust as the Acromaster you could finish an aerobatic manoeuvre and let the plane glide with no motor for a few seconds, you just can't afford to do that with this as it'll bite so have to have power on the whole time. The recovery as well in comparison it's not enough just to dip the nose a bit to build speed you need power as well and it'll wing rock from side to side until you have it back under control !!
As long as you keep a reasonable speed the rest of the time it's nice to fly and can roll / slow roll, fly it inverted, blenders etc and would have thought despite it being on the rearward line if it was the GoG it would fly horribly all the time but don't know ?
Any help appreciated !
