Flying Characteristics

The Extra 300L is the features the long canopy, giving you a little bit more fuselage side area for improved knife-edge. Well, it's only a small difference, also without the canopy there is a lot of surface producing the lift. The typical drop-shaped nose works like an airfoil and makes knife-edge-flying more stable.
	Like the full-scale airplane, the elevators have only small counterbalances. If you put a small piece of lead in it (about 20g), it will increase the live of your servo gears remarkably. But also the counterbalances are small enough to avoid loosing precision, as it can happen when they are to big.
The shape of our SuperXtra's fuselages doesn't only look great and curvy as the original - the drop-shaped front is also great for knife-edge. And it's right in the middle of the two extremes of our Extra 260 and Yak 55 SP regarding the front area: So you'll get a great allrounder with your CARF Models SuperXtra, which is comfortable slow in the downlines, but also can handle some wind really good.
	Like the original, the Extra 300L features a low wing position. You should use a little coupling of 6-8% to make the knife-edge straight. If you've set it once, you can forget about it completely. You won't recognize that it's set anymore, it's like a part of the airplane - guaranteed. The good thing about a low wing position is always an amazing performance in positive Harriers, where many designs fail. It's also great for some crazy 3D-maneuevers, as the airplane reacts more different if you fly a maneuver positive or negative.
