I flew mine last weekend too. I put several flights on it both Saturday and Sunday (after church!) Typical set-up - Brison 3.2, Hitech Digitals, Horizon titanium rods, rocket city hrdware, etc... I have not weighed it yet. CG is at 6 - 6 1/4".

I was impressed with the plane on one hand and a little disappointed on the other.

Good news - it 3D's VERY well. blenders, walls, waterfalls, elevators were all super easy and looked awesome. Hovering and torque rolls were OK, but not as easy as my 42% Giles 202. The Walls were breathtaking. It looked like it should have ripped the wings off several times, but the Extra just locked into a perfect vertical.

Bad News - it is only OK for IMAC style flying. Granted, I have not dialed it in yet and will continue to make changes. First of all, the low rates are plenty and in some cases too much for nice percision flying. I will increase the ailerons and decrease the elevator. I like my elevator set so that I can pull full back at the bottom of a poweroff downline and get a nice even radius pull. This makes it simple to get perfect entrys and exits in vertical maneuvers (now if I could just get the middle parts perfect!). it has a little coupling in knife-edge, but not too bad. I also need some more right trust in the engine - was having to hold a fair amount of rudder to track straight on uplines. The CG is just about right and it needed very little pressure to hold inverted flight.

I was hoping to use this as a back-up for IMAC. What I found is that I really like 3D with it. Hopefully, I can get it dialed in for percision flying.

Everyone talks about how slow this thing lands. While it does slow down, I would not qualify it as super slow. My Giles lands at a fast walk pace. This plane is a little faster. It also has a greater tendency to get into ground effect and then quickly drop out of it (probably my biggest complaint). I love to grease landings. I will go out and do nothing but takeoffs and landings for several flights in the evenings. I never could get this one to really grease on. Maybe it is just a new plane and I have to get used to it.
