RE: ExtremeFlight 58" Extra
I have about 100 flights on my electric 58" EF Extra. It's decked out with hyperion motor, esc, bec and batteries (the guts from my busted up Hyperion Yak 40e). It is easily the best plane I've owned. It is a bit more expensive than other 40-60 size ARF's that I've owned, but it is worth the $. The quality is good, it looks great and it flies great. It will do 3d and pattern too (I took 3rd last month in a 402/intermediate pattern contest last month with it).

91 Surpass is way heavy for this bird. It is a 5 pounder.

I'm about to start grandson #2's training, and my gasser and his trainer won't both fit in my truck at the same time. So I need a smaller model for me; but I want something nice. On a whim, I bought a UCD 46 at the LHS, put it together, and was "buttoning it up" the other day when I realized I simply didn't WANT the thing. I would prefer something that looks like a real airplane; and I'm not into flip-flopping around either.
The new Aero-Works QB Extra 60 looks nice; I pre-ordered one. I don't usually volunteer to be an unpaid beta-tester for a new model, but what the heck...

RE: ExtremeFlight 58" Extra
The Extra may be a good one dialed down a bit
My personal workhorse trainer is a Sig 4*60 with an OS 91 Surpass-II. This one is an ART (My dad, Art, built it).
I have used it for 5 years training folks locally and it is still alive
