Love my Extra 300, very nice foamy that acts like a big 3D plane does. See a lot of guys on the forums and youtube saying the wings are malformed, and need to be flipped to fly better. Not sure what they're on about, as this thing flies very well, but no it won't glide in like most foamies, like a supercub with no power, but either will a big 3D balsa plane. MAYBE a few guys wings are not perfectly symmetrical, it's a foamy dude, want a precision plane, then buy a Precision Aerobatics or something like that, where a good kit build costs you 600bucks for a 48" wingspan, instead of 250 for parkzone. And then you can do a bunch of the build, instead of RTF!
Anyways, enough rant on the wings issue. Just a regular day routine at the park with the extra. Some nice low knife edge circuits practice, snap rolls on take-off inverted, harrier, hammerheads. Just starting to get into rolling it 180 degrees on the upline on hammerheads, or stall turns, and it looks cool, and more good practice. Four point rolls on the downline is next, and very scary LOL You don't know if you can get the last 90 degree roll off before it's too low haha
Hope you guys like the tune too, sorta picked it specifically for the Knife Edge, obviously, but also because this was a concert done in Vancouver, which is basically where we are too. Mentioned at the end of the song, and Buble is pretty cool Canadian too. I used to play some blues and jazz myself as well.
Anyways, have fun with your Extra 300's, and if you flip the wings and like it better, good for you, but I think it flies just how it's supposed to guys. Check out the dives that go right into a landing, no problems slowing it down, if you know how to judge stall speeds.
Get a big 3D plane and check it out.

  • My fav warder video forever

  • @flyingchimp99 thanks man, one of my favorites too

  • I have been flying a super cub for a while now and i'm pretty good at this level. I want to step up to the next level and purchase this extra 300. Just wondering how the planes flies and if you think this would be a good plane to purchase? Thanks!

  • @jchamine the 300 is really an intermediate plane. I'd suggest a Parkzone Trojan to get some aileron practice, and something other than a high wing trainer. A lot of guys have found this to be the perfect next plane after a supercub. You could probably fly it no problem, if the throws were setup right, and trimmed right for take-off, and had some good luck, but it's a very agile plane. Landings hardest thing to get good at with this too, unless you've flown other planes before.

  • very nice vid :) i was flying mine today , love it ! great flying plane, the only thing i recommend, is take the wheel pants of and put bigger wheels on it. then the thing will land and take off in deep grass !! also for the ding dongs saying the wings are upside down? LEARN HOW TO FLY YA STUPID MOTHER%$#%^%!!!!

  • @fastestcararound ya guys have had luck with larger tires on grass. Make sure guys push the battery all the way forward, so that the strap barely covers the end of the battery. This will ensure a good CG

  • @josefmd awesome great price, and such a sweet flying plane. Make sure you tell people not to listen to the BS that all these guys on forums and youtube, try to spread.  They fly great, and anyone who has problems, should look to their skills rather than the plane

  • Great flying buddy! And thumbs up to your cameraman! This video made me buy this plane. Now, if I only had your thumbs. Time to work on those rolling circles... ;-p

see all

  • @warderseeker exactly :) my battery is all the way forward .actually my strap is on the wires,not even touching the battery, because the wing tube holds it in anyway . HAPPY FLYING PEOPLE !!

  • @zsebi696 Yes I have the rce-bl35x Align esc.The smaller capacity 4s such as 1600mah 25c lipos are pretty close in dimensions as the 2200mah 3s.check out hobbyking or nitro planes.

  • @thedoorsbiggestfan

    The larger ESC is noted in your post, but how will you fit a 4s lipo in there? it is tight as it is for the 2200 3s.

  • @thedoorsbiggestfan thanks a lot for watching. Ya the 12X6 I like a lot better It seems to be a good all around prop for lots of planes. That motor would help out with doing more 3D with this too, quick response
