Summer/Fall 2008

Greetings fellow airplane addicts!  I hope all of you are having a great summer and getting in all the flying you can stand.

We have been very busy here finalizing several new designs and I will be making another trip across the north pole to the mystical land of ARFs mid August to ensure everything is in order.

Many of you have probably heard through the rumor mill about some upcoming releases, so I’ll spill the beans about a few of them here:

2 meter Vanquish-Due to the enormous success of our 48” Vanquish F3A model we have decided to produce a 2 meter version of this aircraft.  This is not a hybrid pattern/3D aircraft, but a dedicated pattern aircraft with appropriate control surfaces sized for precision aerobatics.  Our goal is to produce an affordable and competitive alternative to the multi-thousand dollar composite ships that currently dominate the competition scene.

78” Extra 300-We will offer 2 versions of this aircraft, a dedicated electric only version built extremely light for 8-10S, and another version built slightly more robust to handle the vibrations of 1.40-1.80 glow and 30-46cc gas engines.  Based on the 58” and 88” Extra designs, this one will have stunning looks and performance to match.

88” Edge 540T-Everyone knows that Extreme Flight 50cc aircraft dominate the class in looks, quality and performance, and the new 50cc Edge 540T will fit right in with our Yak and Extra. 

Jeff Williams Profile Extra 330-Pro Bros, we haven’t forgotten about you!  The Jeff Williams designed profile Extra 330 is one bad machine and we are honored to be bringing this to market to compliment the Jeremy Chinn Yak. 

123” Extra 300-Now in the final stages of development, we expect to finalize all details in China next month and begin production immediately.  Look for the release of this plane late 2008/early 2009.

That’s just a small sample of what we have been working on.  There are currently 9 other designs in the works for release in the near future.  Stay tuned for more details coming soon!

All the best!

Chris and Melissa
