Greetings and congratulations on your purchase of the Extreme Flight RC 60 inch EXTRA
300 EXP ARF. Loosely based on our favorite variant of the Extra, the 2 seat mid wing
Extra 300, we have taken numerous liberties with this design to produce an aircraft that is
both unique in appearance and flight ability. The designation EXP does not belong to a full
scale Extra, but rather stands for Experimental Progressive. This name was chosen due to
the fact that the Extra 300 EXP incorporates several new forward thinking design and
aerodynamic concepts. Having spent several months in development, flight testing and
refinement, we are very excited about the end result of our quest.
The Extra 300 EXP incorporates carbon fiber and G10 composites into the structure of the
airframe, resulting in a lightweight, yet twist free structure capable of handling extreme
aerodynamic loads. Carbon and G10 are used in high stress areas such as the landing gear
mounting structure and fuselage longerons to provide enormous strength and durability.
A true piece of carbon fiber art, the landing gear is airfoiled and has just enough "give" to
cushion those not so perfect landings. The removable wing panels are mounted on a
carbon fiber wing tube and are fastened to the fuselage with nylon thumbscrews. The large
canopy (which is retained by a spring loaded hatch latch) has been moved forward to place
the tallest portion of the aircraft near the center of gravity, resulting in superior knife edge
performance.
All control surfaces are pushrod driven with short linkages and use ball links for slop free
actuation with no binding. Optional Side Force Generators are included and add to the
already generous side area, increasing yaw axis authority and adding stability in all angles
of sideslip. Expertly painted fiberglass cowl and wheel pants and 2 gorgeous high visibility
Ultracote color schemes add the finishing touches and make this an airplane that you will
be proud to show up at the flying field with. The combination of these unique elements add
up to an aircraft that pushes the boundaries of modern aerobatic flight.
If repairs become necessary, the Ultracote colors used on the Extra 300EXP are as follows:
Blue/white/red color scheme: Midnight Blue, White, True Red
Red/white/black color scheme: True Red, White, Black
Extreme Flight R/C reserves the right to alter the assembly process at any time. While we
do our best to update the manuals, sometimes there are minor changes in the process of the
build. If you have any questions regarding assembly please contact us before moving
forward.
