Introducing the .40 size glow Extra 330L. I have flown the 2nd prototype and am very pleased with its performance. I also have 3 other modelers flying beta kits and they are experiencing the same quality flight characteristics. The Extra 330L is a conventionally built airplane and has a foam fuselage. The wing is typical D-tube construction, but this plane has many of its parts laser cut. All flying surfaces feature laser cut parts so that the framer only need to sand 1/4" sq. balsa sticks at a 90 degree angle to finish the surface. No more sanding all those angles! Typical times to frame the prototypes ranged from 6 to 8 hours and they were all built without instruction manuals. I am planning on doing a limited numbers of kits, if you are interested please notify me soon to get on the list. My projected time frame is to have kits ready to ship during the last week of September.

Initial weights with no modifications are ranging from 4 to 4.8lb, they have all been equipped with standard style servos and engines ranging from an OS50SX, YS63, Saito 72 and 82. Each of these engines allows hovering on 1/2 throttle and unlimited vertical.

                                                             This is Kirk Hutching's (aka Kirkman) Extra 330l.

Gary Seeloff is one of the best profile airplane fliers I have witnessed. He compiles precision with wild, low 3D aerobatics. He has flown nearly all of the available profile designs available today. Read what Gary Seeloff has to say about his new Extra 330L.

OK, some thoughts from me on flying the new Extra 330. Is it just a warmed-over Sledge? NO! The only thing I've found that it doesn't do better than the Sledge is a high-alpha KE (my Sledge was rock solid in HAKE, nearly hands off). It has a very good conventional KE, almost no pitch and just a bit of roll coupling. Harriers are VERY solid, especially inverted. Until now the TopCap was the best inverted harrier plane I'd flown and the Extra matches it. It does nice walls and parachutes with that monster elevator. The ailerons are very effective, in fact harrier rolls will get just stupid if you don't back off the aileron stick. The plane is just great at 3D, no surprise there.

However, there IS a surprise. The plane is also excellent at precision flying! When you put it on a line, it just stays there. Vertical up and down lines are straight as can be. It may very well be the BEST rolling circle plane I've flown. Snaps are nicely formed and easy to time. See Gary's video.
