INTRODUCTION 

 

The  EXTRA 330L is a Scale Electric “EXTREME 3D” aerobatic ready to fly kit, which was developed by the 
SAPAC company to represent the full sized  Extra’s as flown by many pilots in the Red Bull air races and  
aerobatic teams around the world. The design has incorporated style and functionality. Not only is the Extra 
330L a great looking model it also has the performance to back up its aerodynamic lines. The combination of 
the B2040 in-runner brushless motor, with a well matched 8:1 gearbox gives a nearly 2:1 power to weight 
ratio. This makes it great for hovering and other 3D aerobatics. The 3 cell 1500ma 15c Li-Po battery gives 
ample power and flight duration. Assembly is simple, flight is stable and predictable, and maintenance is 
easy and convenient.
