72" Extra 330SC

[kman240]

Hello....I just joined 3drcforums and I am thinking of buying the 3dhs 72 inch extra....but I need to know if it will fit in my little car!! Can someone who owns a 3DHS extra 300sc 72 inch please take two measurements for me?? I need to know the height of the rudder (from the ground to the highest part of the rudder) and also the measurement from the ground to the highest part of the cowl. Thanks for your help I have been looking everywhere for this info but can not find it. Can't wait to get my hands on this plane!! Thanks again!!

First of all welcome to the forum kman! I don't have the 72" extra but I do have the 71" Slick and I know for a fact that it fits in a Nissan Sentra. Which make and model car do you have?

Angle isn't perfect, I'd say about 16"


Angle is spot on, so 17 1/4"


This plane is a ton of fun. Really stable low and slow, and plenty of aggression in energy maneuvers.
The wings are a weak area for this plane, and must be reinforced. Read previous posts on this subject.

Welcome to the site!

I have a 1992 Nissan 240sx.....it is a hatchback but with the hatch closed it is not that deep.....that is why I need to know the height of the rudder. Where there is a will there is a way.....so I am pretty sure I can make it fit somehow!!!! Maybe I will have to smash out my back window!!! lol...

Just drive with the hatch open lol

make a removable rudder if you need to. should not be too hard

They make hinges that have cotter pins that hold them together

Looking for a cowl for a 72" yellow Extra.

My son tore his up beyond repair and they've been out of stock for quite a while.

Will even buy a wrecked one as long as it's repairable and the wood ring is mostly intact or you at least you have all the parts!

Will pay a fair price for it plus shipping!

PM me!
