An Extra 300 isn't to hard to fly but you need to take steps if you can fly a low wing airplane you can more than likely fly one. The Extra will go where you tell it to so you need to be comfortable with something more than a trainer. Also the lighter you can build it the better it will fly.

Shouldn't be a problem. I went from my ultra stick to an extra. The only real difference is landing. You have to set it up and constantly decend, you can't float around like with a stick. Sometimes you need to add power. It's all about reading the plane, you need to watch how it is behaving. If you have to keep adding up elevator to keep a certain rate of decent, you have to know to add power. It's not very hard to do, you just have to remember to do it the first few times, then it will become an instinct. Just keep the control throw small for the first couple of flights, because the larger control surfaces make it more touchy. If you can fly a t-34 it you should be alright.

I have two extra 300s and one 330L (46-90-vary large). The 40 size is a GP and flies great. They all do jest have them set up for different purposes. When it comes to moving up I agree with the other answers posted. I will add one thing Extras make the step up as easy as you will find. Keep those throws down at first,you should have no problem!

If you are talking about the .40 sized ARF (not the Wagstaff) the wings are glued together. I've got a .46 FX in mine and it flies great.
Do you have realflight? The plane flies very similarly to the one on the simulator. FWIW I went from my trainer (Avistar) to the GP Extra ARF (after lots of sim time) without a hitch. I've been flying it for over a year now (about 90 flights) with no problems.
It goes where you point it, but it is a very smooth plane. Go with the recommended throws and it will not snap out of loops etc. If you increase the elevator throws you need to be careful.
Good luck!

I have the Kangke Extra 300-60 with a Magnum 91FS. The plane is so smooth and easy to fly that I gave it to my son once he got some time solo on the trainer {he went from there to a Cap 232-60 and now flies a Texas Hurricane 2.4 gas}. With a forward C.G. and reasonable throws this plane is as docile as any low wing I've ever flown, Step on it and it will 3-D. Give it a look, it has a nice rounded fuse like the real one and is very well built and covered.

Lots of local dealers carry Kangke/Super Kraft models as well as many mail order houses. There are some really good deals out there on there planes if you just take a little time to look around. If you run a search on Kangke or Super Kraft I think you will find almost all the posts are very positive both about the product and the customer support.
