Congratulations on your selection of the high performance
aerobatic ParkZone
®
Extra 300. The original aircraft was
designed in 1987 by Walter Extra. The Extra 300 is one of the
most recognized full-scale aerobatic aircrafts in the world.
Mike McConville designed this park-sized version to give you
a scale aerobatic experience like no other. Rudder control
is pure, so no pitch or roll coupling makes knife edge flight
easier. The Extra 300 is capable of positive and negative G
maneuvers, snap rolls and other precision aerobatics. The
specially designed power system adds vertical performance
too.
Since the Extra 300 can be ready for flight in as little as an
hour, you can spend your time refining your flying skills, not
your building skills.
Note: A full range 4-channel or greater transmitter (SPMR5500,
SPMR6600 or SPMR7700) for the Extra 300 BNF. Transmitter,
receiver, charger and battery required for Extra 300 PNP.
WARNING:
Although your ParkZone® Extra 300 comes
almost ready to fly, this aircraft is for experienced RC pilots
only and is not a toy. Misuse of the plane can cause serious
bodily harm and damage to property. Therefore, only an
experienced RC pilot should fly it. Because of the high
performance nature of the Extra, we recommend you only fly
in very large open areas or RC club fields.
