Default Flair Extra 300 .90 any one seen them

Has any one got or seen one of these planes?

Will it achieve unlimited vertical on a 0S .91 FX and do 3D? It’s the same wing span and length as the World models Extra 300 .60 but it ways less, so I was thinking the .91 may be a good choice?
I am stuck with my .91 and don’t know what to put it in? I want to do some 3D but preferably with a CAP or Extra type looking plane.

Thanks in advance

The Flair Extra 300 90 aka CMPro will not be able to give you good 3D capabilities or unlimited vertical with a 91 2C, you will need at least a 108 2C for that, your plane might be a little nose heavy. The CMPro planes might be a little heavier than stated. I seen the ARF and its very nice, lighter than the CAP 232. I would not dare to say that the Flair Extra is lighter than the WM one ... WM are pretty accurate with their specs on weight. I think for an 8.5-9 lbs (3.9 kgs is almost 8.8 lbs) plane a Saito 100 would be very nice.

Check out the Pacific Aeromodel Edge 540T 60/100. I understand they are available in Europe. The weight listed for their planes is accurate. www.pacaeromodel.com

I have one of these its actually the CMPro Extra 300s 90/120. I am running it with a O.S. 1.08/Bisson Pitts combo spinning a 15*6 at the moment, but will probably be going to 16*6 shortly. With this engine it flies very well, at doesn't give unlimited verticle as yet as i have not entirely leaned it off as the plane only has about 8 flights on it and the engine maybe 12 tanks. As Tianci stated it did come out a bit nose heavy, even despite running dual elevator servo's and swapping to 4*40 rods and metal clevis' all round in the tail it still came out nose heavy.. so i had to add about 80gm's maybe to the tail, and had to make a new hatch in the fuz in front of the rudder servo hatch in order to strap my RX batt to the former in front of the two elevator servo's. But after that it balanced out perfectly, its still a fraction nose heavy just to get a few flights on the board, but i will play with the CG soon. Overall, the quality was excellent, i do recomend however that you change the hinges supplied and add a few more.. they give you 3 mylar hinges for the ailerons, 2 for elevator, and 2 for rudder... i ended up changing to Great Planes hinges and ran 5 in each aileron, 4 in each elevator half and 3 in the rudder.
