Ok guys who makes the best Extra 300? Let me narrow it down a little farther. 80" wingspan and below. Also mention if it has plug in wings or not. Appreciate any replys.

Thanks,

Mike

I like the Great Plains Patty Wagstaff Extra 300s ARF 78" wing span, covered in MonoKote, gorgeous cowl plug-n wings and stab. I really like mine. I haven't flow in but I have been told by those that have flown them they fly great. No bad habits. Will do the 3D stuff if you are into that.

There is a major thread here devoted to this airplane. Worth the 2 hr read if you are interested in this airplane.

Regards,

Andy

Default Take a peek at Yellow Aircraft

We've flown the Yellow Aircraft Extra 300Ls (both the 60 and 120-size) and adored them. Stunning quality and looks, fantastic flying characteristics, etc make this series a must-have in the collection. Whether it's the best is debatable.... but they're beautiful birds.

For some video of the big extra in flight (complete with smoke system):

I'd have to throw in a vote for the Creek Hobbies Extra. It may not be THE best quality, but its not too far behind and at about half the price of a lot of the arf's at 200 its hard to pass up. Plug in wings as well.

Just my .02c

I have the Sig Extra, and while it's a very good aircraft, I would give my vote for the GP Wagstaff Extra. A fellow club member has one and it is exceptional.
