| Let's take a closer look at the wings first. Have your ever heard of the "TAVS"-technology, developed by CARF-Models? Well, it stands for "Total Area Vacuum Sandwich" - making the wings so strong and stiff, no wooden or foam-sandwich plane can compete with. A rib and spare structure inside the wing is already prepared for the aluminum spar tube and all the servos. Its made from high quality balsa and plywood, and - where necessary - it is coated with fiberglass or carbon. |

All hardware to install the aileron servos is included. You'll find accessories for your choice of JR or Futaba servos in the hardware bag. |
| The stab's inner structure is made from fiberglass-coated balsawood to keep it lightweight. You have to glue in some plywood-frames to mount the servos. Again, there are frames for JR or Futaba included. |

The fuselage is stiffened with kevlar and carbon fibers where necessary. The engine dome is removable to give you the perfect freedom of choice. A DA-50R is the most popular engine used on this plane, but also a MVVS/Evolution 58 fits well. Electric motors are not too expensive in this class and are also a popular choice for the 2.3m Extra. In this case, you might use a custom mount. |

| On all our modern kits, we modified the landing gear mounting. We didn't make experiments, we just made it solid and massive to keep you happy, even if one landing is less than perfect. And if really something happens, the landing gear legs are quite easy to replace. Three screws and that's it - not that bad, isn't it ? |
