Default RE: Extreme Flight Extra 58"

plane flys great. almost no coupling in KE. cg will influence this tho. first time I attempted a KE loop I was shocked it didn't flop out of it at the top of the loop. sat right in it like a profile. flat spins great. getting a little rock in upright harriers but I need to add some weight on the left side of my plane. I'm flying with some right ail. trim. landings are a breeze. it will go pretty slow before it looses lift. covering is awesome. I left my pilot and floor out so I could see my fuel tank. which I mounted only half-way back to the wing tube. thats a bit far for most glow engines liking. when I get a chance I'll post a few pics.

the conversion was pretty simple. EF gives you ply already cut to correct dimensions to glue around the firewall. I started gluing them and then realized the firewall has right thrust built in. so certain pieces have exact locations. the ply strengthens the whole front end.
