So the weather was... decent today. Cloudy and cold with only a 5 mph breeze, no gusting. But I got to maiden the Extra! I actually got to get three great flights in! I had an awesome time with the plane. Got the maiden flight all spliced together on video and put it on youtube already so go ahead and watch that please (link below). It is a very sharp plane out there in the air. Take offs are great, unreal with the OS 70 surpass II. LOTS of authority in every direction. ELEVATOR was slightly touchier than I am used to, due to shorter tail moment. Roll rate is lightning fast at full throttle and still amazing at 1/3-throttle. Slow flight was not THAAAAT slow, but controllable. The wings DO start getting tippy but never fully tip-stalled on me once. Landings are fast, I don't think it is possible to land this plane "3-point" style with the CG at 95mm. "Two-points" are the way to go for now. The CG at 95mm dry is a great start, might push it even farther back to maybe 105mm later on. OK OK OK, Enough jibber-jabber...

...Here is the video!
