Measurements are taken at the inner or
widest point on the control surface.
These are general guidelines measured from our own
flight tests. You can experiment with higher rates to
match your preferred style of flying.
Travel Adjust, Sub-Trim and Dual Rates are
not listed and should be adjusted according
to each individual model and preference.
Preflight
Check Your Radio
Before going to the field, be sure that your batteries
are fully charged per the instructions included with
your radio. Charge the transmitter and motor battery
for your airplane. Use the recommended charger
supplied with your particular radio system, following
the instructions provided with the radio. In most
cases, the radio should be charged the night before
going out flying.
Before each flying session, be sure to range check your
radio. See your radio manual for the recommended
range and instructions for your radio system. Each
radio manufacturer specifies different procedures for
their radio systems. Next, run the motor. With the
model securely anchored, check the range again.
The range test should not be significantly affected. If
it is, don’t attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment
checked out by the manufacturer.
Keep loose items that can get entangled in
the propeller away from the prop. These
include loose clothing, or other objects such
as pencils and screwdrivers. Especially keep
your hands away from the propeller.
Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator, rudder
and throttle) move in the correct direction.
Check the radio installation and make sure all the
control surfaces are moving correctly (i.e., the correct
direction and with the recommended throws).
Check all the control horns, servo horns, and clevises
to make sure they are secure and in good condition.
Flying Your Extra 300 32e ARF
The Extra 300 32e has been designed to meet the
current IMAC rules regarding changing of the airframe
outline. The deviation is no more than 10% in any area
and meets all IMAC regulations. You will find the Extra
300 performs precision maneuvers with a very tight
feel through the entire flight envelope. Takeoffs are as
easy as applying the power and a slight amount of
right rudder correction to lift off. Vertical performance
is very strong and predictable. The Extra can perform
any aerobatic maneuver you request. Landings are a
breeze, and just line up on final approach and adjust
your power to touch down. We hope you enjoy flying
your Extra 300 and appreciate its aerobatic prowess
as much as we do.
Happy landings.
Range Test Your Radio
Before each flying session, and especially with a new
model, it is important to perform a range check. It
is helpful to have another person available to assist
during the range check. If you are using a Spektrum
transmitter, please refer to your transmitter’s manual for
detailed instructions on the range check process.
1. With the model resting on the ground, stand 30
paces (approximately 90 feet) away from the model.
2. Face the model with the transmitter in your
normal flying position. Be sure the throttle is in the
full down position and plug the flight battery into
the speed control.
3. As you move the controls, watch to be sure the
airplane’s motor and controls operate smoothly.
You should have total control of the model at 30
paces (90 feet).
4. If control issues exist, call the Horizon Support
Team at 1 877 504 0233 or go to
horizonhobby.

to find a local Spektrum distributor in your
country for service if you are using a Spektrum
radio system.
