Extra 300 78" V4, Blue/Orange/White ARF kit
Product Details
Description
Extreme Flight Extra
300 78” V3
From the initial release of the 78 inch Extra 300 in 2009
when our team pilot and good friend Donatas Pauzuolis from Lithuania won the
FAI World Airgames Artistic Aerobatic competition with a prototype of the
78" Extra, it immediately found favor within the RC aerobatic community
and has remained one of our best selling aircraft. We decided that this iconic
airframe deserved an update to bring it up to spec with our other current
airframes. Just like our other recent releases there has been some serious weight
reduction involving extensive use of composites. The model that we have been
flying during testing is a full pound lighter than the previous V2 version that
we built and flew extensively during the preliminary testing of the Xpwr
motors! What this has allowed is for us to use the Xpwr 35, which allows us to
use smaller batteries, contributing to the lower weight. The 21x10 that we use
on the Xpwr 35 is still a huge disc on this size model and power is nothing
short of ballistic. It is for this reason that we now feel the 78" Extra
is THE current sweet spot for super floaty yet aggressive electric 3D flying:
Using 2 of the batteries that we all use in our 60" models (6S 3300-4000
mah) we can now experience 5-6 minutes of some of the best aerobatic performance
currently available in a gorgeous state of the art 2 meter airframe. Of course
the Xpwr 40 is still an excellent choice for this model and we have zero
reservations recommending this motor.
The V3 Extra is available in 3 standard Oracover color schemes
(not printed), the Jim Bourke Orange/Blue/White scheme, the Yellow/Blue/Red and
the Red/Black/White scheme borrowed from our V2 104" Extra. It comes
complete with a top quality hardware package and full decal set and now
includes a carbon fiber landing gear in place of the original's aluminum gear,
a carbon fiber tailwheel assembly, wing and stab tubes.
