Guided by Aurora 9 with Optima 9 Rx. Best flying small airplane I've ever flown. Easily out-performs most 50cc aircraft!" ThanksCody! James Alton with his Plettenberg powered 88 inch Yak-54. The Yak uses 12S batteries for power and James tells us it has amazing vertical penetration. James' own words: "I really love this plane, it is so much better than anything that I have ever flown and I intend to stick with it for a long time to come. I am even building a custom wooden box to protect the model during storage and transport. Even on 3D rates this plane seems smooth to me compared to what I am used to so I can't wait to try the precision rates. Everything was so straight on the maiden flight that I needed less than 1 aileron click to trim the plane out, the pitch was perfect." Marten Verheggen of Kennesaw GA, writes, "Here a pic of my extra 300. It has a ZDZ60 with smoke, guided by a Futaba 12FG. This has been the best hybrid 50cc class I've had.

" Anthony Demarco of Australia writes us with these details and photo: "Firstly, the 48 inch Extra Exp and the 78 inch Extra are just unbelievable. I will be using the Extra 78 to fly IMAC comps in Unlimited. Just love it! The precision flying of the Extra 78 is fantastic. I have owned and flown many 2x2 F3A planes. Is it as good as a modern F3A plane, no, it can't be. But it is bloody close :-) The big 125 inch Extra 300.....is amazing. It has a good power to weight with the DA170 and a Mejzlik 30x13L.
