Default GP Extra 300 (60) Flys!

Took the Extra out for her maiden flight and what a joy it was. Only needed 2 clicks of down elevator and 1 click of left aileron for level flight. The OS 1.20 performed flawlessly even in its richened state (Breaking it in). Vertical was unlimited and maneuvers were smooth and easy. Knife edge flight was easily maintained and would climb out in KE if throttle was advanced to full. Very little roll coupling during KE and that will be mixed out at a later time. Landings were easy and the 16X6 prop provided excellent braking in both the landing and the vertical down lines. Snaps and Spins all came with ease. Loops were as big as I wanted and speed was easily maintained throughout the entire maneuver.

Great Flying Plane!!!!

Plane looks great.

I can't wait to fly mine, but it's just way to cold here in Indiana (not to mention the snow).
