Congratulations on your purchase of the 

Extra

330ARF

. This is a very unique dual-purpose air-

craft, capable of flying any FAI pattern
sequence with ease, while exhibiting remark-
able 3-D capabilities. Every effort has been
made to produce a lightweight, straight, easy to
assemble aircraft. Because of its oversize con-
trol surfaces which are double beveled to allow
for extreme throws, great care must be taken in
the set-up and flying of this airplane. Quality
hardware components have been provided to
allow for 3D set-up while maintaining adequate
mechanical advantage to eliminate flutter. It is
you responsibility as an advanced pilot to fly the
aircraft in an intelligent manner. 

THROTTLE

MANAGEMENT IS A MUST!!!!!!!

Carl

Goldberg Products has flown the 

Extra 330ARF

through a very rigorous flight-testing schedule
and have stressed the airframe beyond all prac-
tical parameters without a single failure. Carl
Goldberg Products will NOT warrant the 

Extra

330ARF

against flutter due to improper set-up

or excessive speed maneuvers. having said
that, we believe you will find the 

Extra 330ARF

to be one of the most responsive, in-the-grove
aircraft on the market. Just remember to use
common sense when flying this high perform-
ance machine.

We are very proud of the construction of the

Extra 330ARF 

and all of our other ARF aircraft.

Each aircraft is jig built to insure a straight true
airframe. Every effort is made to build as light an
aircraft as possible. As with any professional
builder, glue is used sparingly. 

Please take a

moment during assembly and run a bead of
CA or aliphatic resin into the high stress
joints that you can reach such as the landing
gear plate, servo mounting trays, wing hold
down blocks, etc

. Also, during the course of

shipping from the manufacturer to our facility in
the United States, it is not uncommon for the air-
craft to experience several changes in climate.
This may cause the iron-on covering to develop
wrinkles. This is not a fault of the manufacturer.
Please take a few minutes with your heating iron
and heat gun to iron down the seams and re-
shrink the covering where needed. The results
will be a beautiful aircraft  with a breathtaking fin-
ish that you will be proud to display at your flying
club.

Before beginning assembly of your 

Extra

330ARF

, we highly recommend that you study

this manual in its entirety. You should begin
planning your radio installation based on your
choice of engine and equipment from the begin-
ning.

Because the 

Extra 330ARF 

is intended for

those with some degree of modeling experi-
ence, every minute detail will not be covered.
This is not a basic trainer. Assembly of this air-
craft will be easy for the experienced modeler,
and by following the instructions within this
manual and using the skills you’ve gained dur-
ing your modeling career you will be able to pro-
duce a first class aircraft.
