JTec Radiowave 40% Extra Finally Flies
I maidened it last weekend and am very happy with how it flies, how it went together, and the support I received. All the info is on my website for those curious to see what comes out of the box and how I set it up. Only weak point so far is the covering - likes to come off the wings.

Shaky video with some shaky flying [link=http://www.kdrader.ca/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=2&Itemid=29]here[/link]. My buddy was having a little trouble with the viewfinder and it was overcast. I hope to have something better by next week.
I know this plane has been out for awhile but I'd never seen one up close, and had trouble finding detailed pictures before I ordered it. Hope this helps.
Comments welcome

i know what you are saying about the flight of the machine i have the Radiocraft Extra and she is sweet the covering is holding strong the only thing i had to do was tighten it up on the wings. Iam running a 3W-150 on cans and a 29 x12 x3 fuchs.

Brian,
We've come out with a 300, the PAK kits will be here in a couple of weeks. We have about 6 kits that are not spoken for.

I just picked up one of these used and can't wait to get it going. Where can I get instrument panels for it and who has a good set of wingbags to fit?

hope you enjoy it, it is a really good and predictable flying plane. What are you going to set it up with?
As for your questions I have always used the JTEC instrument kits and made the panel out of light weight carbon fiber sheet. It looks really cool that way, i have attached a picture of what it looks like. For wing bags I have used wing bags by caroline, but there are some really nice ones that I have seen for them that I will probably try on the new extra 300. I just can't remember the companies name.
