Default RE: Extreme Flight Extra 300, 50cc, 88.5inch Wingspan, Build !!!!!!!

Flew my Extra 300 this weekend. Had to put 2 clicks of up elevator to trim. Plane flew great. The Area 51 turned 7200 rpm with a Vess 23A. Plane hovered at half throttle. This plane had Hitecs and JR 8611 on the rudder. JR 9 channel pcm receiver. Bad Brad Graphics. Anyway thats the good news, on flight number 4 I was harrier and as I got about 100 ft up the I started to pull out of the harrier and plane took off at about 45 degree angle down and wide open, had zero control. Plane hit the ground, the wings broke away without a scratch, and the tail feathers are fine, fuselodge was totaled. The area 51 fins were bent and the standoff ears were bent. The crystal had come out of the reciver and everthing failed. I contacted Milton at RC Extreme Power and he said he would repair the motor and if he can't said he would replaced for half price of a new one. Milton does warranty as he advertises. I will contact Chris at EF about replacement parts to get back in the air. One thing I can say I do like EF products because they fly great, If you look in my trailer, I have four planes all EF products (88" Yak, Chen Yak, Elec Extra 300 and whats left of the 88" Extra 300 which I will rebuild.
