Thank's

Hi Kostas.

I have the Patty Wagstaff Graupner Extra300S. I have fitted an ASP91FS engine which is plenty powerfull enough for all the usual aerobatics but won't harrier or give unlimited verticals. Still it's a very good (and cheap) engine. Quiet as well. If you want loads of power go for a .90 two stroke like a Super Tigre or if money is no object get the OS90. Make sure you use a pitts style muffler though as you have to cut a lot of the cowl away if you use a torpedo style, which ruins the look. If you get a 4-stroke then you don't have any problems at all.

It's a great flying model that will keep you coming back for more, but:

Early 300s had a tail defect that could cause an in flight failiure. They used the wrong grade wood and had over-large lightening holes. The MkII 300s used solid wood for both surfaces and also had bracing wires. If you get an early one (holes in the elevator) make sure to brace it. Mine broke in mid air on the 3rd flight. Graupner sent me a new MkII kit free of charge though

Here's a pic of Patty with the gang..............

I had the Greatplanes Extra300S 40 size.
I crashed it 3 months ago,my fault though.
It was a great plane and with my OS 65LA i had unlimited vertical ( APC 13x4 ).
The Graupner's extra is as good as GP?

At least as good. Bit bigger too !
