Extreme Flight designers Ben Fisher and Chris Hinson have long shared a mutual dream 
to  bring  to  market  a  Giant  Scale  airframe  purpose  designed  for  electric  power.  
Discussions  and  brainstorming  sessions  began  even  before  the merger  of  Extreme  Flight 
and  3DHS.    With  the  development,  release  and  overwhelming  enthusiasm  for  the  Xpwr 
line of motors and in particular the Xpwr 60,  this vanity project has now become reality!  
Extreme Flight is proud to present the 3DHS 95" EXTRA 330E! 

The EXTRA 330E is a beautiful synergy of advanced composite materials implementation, 
extreme  weight reduction measures and well informed aerodynamic  choices all wrapped 
around  one  of  the  most  powerful,  efficient  and  reliable  electric  power  systems  currently 
available.  Far from being fragile and hard to handle, the EXTRA 330E is strong where it 
needs to be and can handle any of the aggressive maneuvers performed by its gas powered 
siblings.
