Flying a brand new E-flite Extra 300 BNF AS3X at RCRCC

25mph gusts didn't stop this affordable Extra from a maiden and getting some footage. Comes ready to Bind and fly aerobatic, 3D, scale or SAFE mode (auto level). I forgot how much fun this plane was. Not as light and precise as a balsa ARF, but for the price, toughness and so easy to put together it is fun, stress free popular option.

very cool!!!

[@A.M.-RC]

Wow, great flight! Would love one but they are a bit expensive compared to other E-flite planes in same size, at least in Europe.

[@charismaeventproductions1445]

What size batter are you running? That flys a lot better than mine

[@profsacin]

I flew with a Smart 4s 2200mah. Plenty of power.

Did u add any weight to the tail?

[@patrickhoyle8357]

I added 100g on the nose on mine, after removing the wheel spats which weighed 68g

[@shahram677]

Ok so it’s already tail heavy
just delivered
I’m assembling

[@patrickhoyle8357]

@shahram677 I've only done its maiden, but it flew lovely . And , I didn't bend the landing gear!!! I have an Edge540 with several flights now and manage to bend the landing gear every time - fortunately, I can take it off turn it round, and next landing bends it straight

No, I just strapped the 2200mah 4s lipo centered between the 2 straps that came installed and took off. I fly all my planes neutral CG so they don't climb or drop going from inverted to upright at medium speed. I think generally all 3D/freestyle pilots do that.
