You can do alot of different flying with this plane. 3d yes to a certain extend, does awesome knife edges, can hover though it is pretty hard and I am still trying to get the hang of the hovering aspect, does high alpha pretty good. IMAC pattern flying I find it is great.
Didn't get around to flying my last extra 300S, had it up six times, then had some sort of malfunction where I couldn't use my elevator or ailerons so I lost it hit pavement so only could salvage most of the electronics. Was running a carb'd fs91 in my last extra. I think I am going to get a bit more power out of this fuel injected engine then my last plane.
