I hear you, but I am missing flying anything. So I have been trying to fly my Electric Pulse 25e at a nearby business park but have ripped the landing gear off several times. The gear is so weakly installed and I have not put much time into fixing it. My most recent attempt has involve using gorilla glue - we will see how that goes. I have more trouble landing that plane because it seems to glide and glide. It is also really too fast for the space I am flying in, but that is what makes it fun. Good luck finishing your Extra - I look forward to seeing the photos. I want to find a place in the house to put mine so I can at least look at it! However with kids and dogs that probably is not a wise idea.
