David Kocjančič's Scratch Built Composite Masterpiece Flew!

David 4a

30cc
Hello,

I am informing all the followers that the maiden flight of Extra was successful. You can visit my FB page and see the video of take-off and landing.

The flight of the model in my eyes resembles more the flight of the real aircraft, than the flight of the big-scale model, the reason for this is also the sound of the propulsion system. Extra tracks really nice and the stability is awesome. I didnt try aerobatic maneuvers on the maiden flight and I am looking forward to this with a great expectations.

Now it starts the second phase of this project - optimization of the setup, especially of the motor system and propeller. I wish that the Extra will be able to execute all the 3D maneuvers with great authority. I realize that there is still a lot of work to do to accomplish difficult goal.

Professionally edited HD video of the maiden flight will be uploaded to YouTube in few days.

Thanks for everybody for your great support!
