I got a chance to fly the 50cc Extra 300 today, I have to say I was really happy with the first few flights, I'll still need to tweek a few things but with recommended CG the plane flew extremely smooth it felt light and comfortable, I'd say if your looking for a low price build for a weekend flyer go for it, I have a few koolaid drinkers brand and this one at less than 900$ total left me smiling.... @ChickenBalls took some first flight photos ill post them at some point lol

THe plane looked like it flew great, once you get the fill for that can, tweak your CG, your gonna have a fun beater. I'm interested to compare it to that aerobeez extra.

BTW I'm offering 12 cold ones, and a porterhouse steak if you post those pictures, over on the drama koolaide page.

Hey @IFLYJR is that a RCGF 60cc you have on that plane? I noticed the 6 bolt prop hub and it cought my attention, If so how is it treating you? Theres a few of us that gave these keep it cheep builds and two of the guys got the RCGF 60cc.

An update, I dont have a lot of time on the FM extra 50cc due to having to rebuild the 55 but this plane is great for learning new things, Your mind can rest at ease when you have it in dangrous situations knowing that its fairly cheep for a plane that flys great, Even passed off the transmitter to @ChickenBalls today for a pull at her, Just good cheap fun.

Yep @emtp275 @ChickenBalls looks like the thunderbird is going to find a home in my shop based on your reviews!
I kinda have the same feeling on some of the "koolaid" models I have. In looking @mulehead1969 MX and seeing pics of your bird, getting into 50cc with a FM seems like a reasonable, inexpensive step, to a lot of fun learning/honing your 3D skills.

Really can't find a reason not to give one a try, I am running all HV with booma hidden switch and a 55cc on a can and still have just at a 1,000$ in it, you could stick to the basics and have a really good flyer at the price of a 60 size glow.

Oh and just to add I may get there slick and stick it in the shop for "when" this one bites the dust LOL Im already being hard on it so its not an if but damn sure a when.
