Extreme Flight Extra 300, 78" WS
I am not into IMAC or 3D so I decided to post in the pattern forum
Just took delivery of the 78" X 77" extra 300 from EF. Intent is to put the SAP 30 cc gasoline engine up front and ES30G pipe in the pipe tunnel that this plane comes with already built in. With careful building this ARFie can be brought in at 11 pounds or less.
Wing panels are just under 15 ozs each which is reasonably light for 550 sq inch panels. Each stab half is around 3 1/2 ozs which is a bit heavy but usable.
The kit is very complete with good hardware package. The tail wheel set-up is a little heavy too but I'll use it stock at first. The landing gear that comes standard is aluminum with a pair of large pants and typical axles. I am going to try to build it as stock as practical to get a good idea where it ends up weight wise.
There are a few places where weight could be saved. I'll save that for later after I fly the crate.
I'll post some pics soon
