Just received my Jtech Extra Yesterday. I removed the parts from the box and threw them together quickly to get a feel for the build and size of the plane. The plane is built very well along with a very nice covering job. I agree with others who have said it is built more like a carden than the typical arf with hopefully less weight. This will be my first 35% plane and presents quite a bit larger than the 33% planes I have been flying. I plan to start a build thread on this in March. I first have to get done with a 30% EF Yak. At first I wasn't too thrilled about the covering scheme, but it has grown on me, and I actually like it now, especially in person. I fly mostly 3D, and if this plane flys as good as it looks, it will be a winner. I plan to use a DL 100, 8611as for all control surfaces except for an 8711 on the rudder. Will use the JR matchboxes for the ailerons with two servos per wing. I will probably go with the Lithium Ion Nanophosphate a123 batteries, since the reviews seem very positive. I am a di-hard NiCad fan, but the a123 seems promising in terms of weight, durability, safety, flight time and ease of charging. I will be deciding on what hardware to use over the next couple weeks.
