It looks really nice. Kudos to you Gary. I can tell you are developing a lot more 3d skills since I flew with you in Vegas. The pop tops look great and I liked seeing you getting lower on your harriers ;)

Looks like the plane handles really well. Im thinking about matching one with my dle 35.

[MENTION=3]GYRO[/MENTION] how does the extra compare to the Redwing MXSR that was recently reviewed? I am thinking about getting one of the two for my first gasser, probably in the distant future but wanted to start looking now.

Well... two different planes from two different manufacturers, with two different structural designs, and two different target markets!

The 71 Extra is a little bit lighter, really designed more for Electric but capable of taking a DLE-30 with a tiny bit of effort up front to seal up the motorbox. The MXSR is definitely ready for a DLE30 up front, and has a little bit more structural rigidity, it easily handle a DLE-35. The Extra is more stable in upright harrier, but that is because it's made to be: triple tapered wing and SFGs. The Extra also gets a tiny bit more control defletction, and has slightly bigger control surfaces. This is likely all due to that fact its designed for 3D FIRST, whereas the MXSR is an all around airplane, one that can do precision, 3D, IMAC... really everything. Not saying the Extra can't, it can... but it's strong suit is 3D, especially down low & slow. They both come with many useful accessories, and they both look and fly well. Select the one that fits your flying style best would be my advice!

Hope that helps without being too ambiguous.

Nope great answer! Thanks [MENTION=3]GYRO[/MENTION]. Sounds like the MXSR would fit my flying style better. I like 3D down low but I am more of a rough and tumble kind of flyer. I am known as Mr. KE spin at my field. Thanks for the input Gary. The scheme on this extra is just so awesome it is tough to pass up but I will, for now.

What a beautiful airplane. I'd absolutely love to have a 30cc plane and this is up there. Right after my 20cc aerobeez profile :D

Got some flights in this weekend with some new XQ Power S4020D servos in, they preformed very well!
Had some minor blowback on the ailerons previously, but now it's long gone!

Almost forgot, since I was happy with the battery position along side the fuel tank and where it made the CG, I made a more permanent spot using some balsa ply:
