E flite Ultimate vs Extra 300

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

“I stink at this” -while we watch him flying some excellent 3D. Lol. Wesley- That was Cool man. 👍👍. I agree-both planes look really good. 👊😎

[@moochasas]

I have both of these planes and I totally agree with your comparison. The Ultimate being lighter is great to throw around especially on 4S while the Extra 300 being heavier just handles so well..... I usually dead stick my 300 in from about 200m out. Its is my fav plane out of my fleet..... love it .... great review so so accurate...

[@airhammer6203]

Make a Ultimate same size as the 300!!!!👍👍

[@QcChopper]

Just did the maiden on my Ultimate on Sunday and boy oh boy, I love my Visionaire but I think this one takes the cake. Biplanes rule. Now if only Horizon would make The Beast in a meter+ wingspan foamy, yabbadabbadoo!

[@jankarlsson5358]

good video but please no music ... I always want to hear how the plan sounds😊👍

[@knpjdad]

I like this review because you seem real! When they have the pro fly them of course they fly great!! They can make a garden hose fly great.. Thanks for the review!!

[@TonyObermeit]

Excellent review, thanks, so nice to see all the precision maneuvers

[@SteffenRC]

Love the video.. Great job... Would like your opinion. I just purchased the Ultimate (then left for vacation, so its still in the box... uggg..). I'm curious about the 3S vs 4S. I'm not a serious 3D flyer. I enjoy banging the sticks with sport aerobatics, not sure I'll do any hovering. I'd really like to swap between the 3S and 4S, but don't want to mess with the stabilizer bar. Any thoughts??? I ask because I have a mess of 3S 2200's and just a handful of 4S..

[@MerryBoozerRC]

you can defiantly fly it on both just go with the lighter tale bar if you are not flying 3d

[@andychips6923]

Ive had the Eflite 300 for about 6 months and I’ve never had a plane that will snap like this one.. put the rates on 60% for aerobatic/pattern and 100% for the crazy stuff.. and I also have a 1.60 size great planes ultimate bi gasser.. Might have to pick up the eflite ultimate. I have the eflite 850 pitts but it just doesn’t do enough..

[@brianmehaffy]

Awesome video of the two birds! Excellent flying!

[@wildgoobsid5]

I have both. The ultimate had some wicked knife edge coupling. Pull to landing gear that needs a lot of mixing. Am I missing something? Any suggestions. I really like both.

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

I was wondering about this... I am looking at sometime picking up another plane, I have a Multiplex Gemini, and a Parkzone Extra 300... haven't flown the Extra a lot in the last few years, as my current spot is a gravel road for landing and it likes to come in with speed... the Gemini is a blast to fly, and can slow way down before landing... but it needed a lot of aileron differential and mixing to get it to roll on axis and to knife edge half decent... it just isn't as easy to do precision aerobatics with, but is still a lot of fun to fly. Looking to get a new plane to start practicing some routines with. Eventually to fly a routine to music... thinking an Extra/Edge/Sukhoi would be better than a bipe possibly...

[@jannovak2234]

Hi Dear Sir .This is an excellent video, thank you for it, please which plane is better on the pattern flying style ... ultimate or Extra ...? extra is bigger and must have bigger batteries ... thank you for the answer ... Jan.

[@MerryBoozerRC]

The Extra is a better Pattern Plan In my opinion

[@erichoenderop1142]

Very nice and pleasant how you compare these two planes. Not only nice to look at, but also a good opinion of how you look at it yourself. One of these two might be my first 3D plane.

[@JeffRumleskie]

I have a extra 300 new charger and 2 2200 batteries that are brand new as well but not sure if I can fly it how much should I sell it for ?

[@sammysmirh3889]

Great video I had the 300 extra and due to a loss a contact to the radio it's spun in uncontrolled and was destroyed left a bad taste in my mouth but why was it radical I did like it. I have the ultimate 2 and love that plane and I'm considering going to the ultimate 3D. Thanks for the update

[@paulspomer16]

Mine did the same thing and then they DISCONTINUED THEM!!! SO EFFING PISSED

[@garyhardison1275]

Thanks for the comparison love it !

[@superdon1chw]

I am having problems with the receiver it has poor range any suggestion on something better. I get 2 holds sometime and about 5 to 6 hundred frame losses

[@alexrobertson1472]

Looks like the extra has some coupling going on, if you mix some elevator in with the rudder until it tracks straight on its own in knife edge all of your rudder based manoeuvres should get a lot nicer and tighter. Had to do the same with my Edge. I wouldnt be too worried about struggling to harrier with the extra, the airframe design is notorious for having terrible wing rock in high alpha, this is why if you rarely see extras in the hands of top 3d pilots, they will often fly Lasers, Slicks and Edges instead as they do not suffer this issue.

[@johnd9357]

What’s your mix on the extra?

[@airtylerb]

I feel like most of the issues with maneuvers had more to do with pilot skill than what the plane can do, which is a good thing. It’s nice to have planes that are far more capable than your own skills.

[@radioflitercairplanes1715]

I have the Extra 300 from when it was still carrying the FMS brand. Is there any BIG differences? I expect the e-flite branded electronics. I had 83 flights on it and it was tons "O" fun to fly. It is in for repairs after damage to the nose ,the brush at the end of field reached up and grabbed it .

[@MotionRC]

Great intro Wes. I'd take the bi-plane myself, but you fly them both pretty darn well

[@MerryBoozerRC]

Motion RC me to the ultimate is a fantastic flyer we need some bi-planes from you guys!!!

[@EXTRA300s]

I am sitting here with the new (delivered 1 hour ago) Extra 30o in my hand, and at the same time I am interested in watching this film, because the Extra300 but also the Ultimate is indicated. In the first ten minutes I started to have doubts and almost wanted to send the Extra300 back because the Ultimate does this better and the Ultimate does that to much better was the commentary in the video. But when you started flying the Extra300 I knew right away that I made the right choice :) I have about 6 Extras and it is clearly my favorite aircraft, all Extras are great planes to fly. Still, I would like to see that you can also reverse the engine while flying with the Ultimate? Thanks for making this video, really nice video man.

[@MerryBoozerRC]

Unfortunately the Extra doesn’t support the esc reverse. It is also an awesome plane and I love both to be honest you could do what I did and just get both

[@EXTRA300s]

@@MerryBoozerRC Sorry mate, I meant that you fly the Ultimate and then reverse the motor :) I will also buy the Ultimate one day, that's for sure!

[@sr-sr592]

Have both these planes and DONT get either of these for real 3D, these are sport flyers . Too much wing loading. Can you do some 3Dish moves ..maybe but they are not floaty or have the power to weight ratio for 3D. Get a foamy especially a 32" and then you realize what actually 3D plane is. I found out the wrong way !

[@clementfortin4315]

Hi can i use a 4s 4000 mah on the extra 300? Thanks

[@MerryBoozerRC]

I think a 3000 is all that will fit

[@kevinouellette1893]

I bought the extra 300 2 months ago. I still have not flown it. I have been flying for 4 years. I don’t do 3D flying but I do aerobatics. I have several micros. “ xk 430” etc And 4 park flyers like Carbon cub s+, I m trying to find a place to fly with a little more room to land I guess. I don’t want to crash such a great looking plane. Lol. I want to fly it so badly. And with the AX3s tech. It’s makes it soo friendly. So. I think it’s time I take it out. Regardless. I have been looking at the ultimate for lil while and want a bi plane bad!! Looking at the Pitts too. Love the Bi planes. But before I get another. I need to tackle this one. Lol

[@mlarsen77]

great video. Thanks for all you do for the RC community!

[@mikekennedy9174]

Well done Westley. I love that Ultimate 3D

[@dennisfarley6574]

Great side by side comparison Wes my favorite is the Ultimate but I’m partial to biplanes.

[@natal777]

Nice flying ! Both planes are looking good 👌

[@kellysweetman6070]

I just ordered the Ultimate. I'll have to do my own comparison with my Extra 300.

[@airhammer6203]

A great comparison!! I think it will come down to what your preference is. I like biplanes, so I'm partial. Merry Boozer👍👍👍 AirHammer out!!

[@domscorpi9775]

how do you manage to do all these acrobatic maneuvers? I can't. Are there any sites that explain this to us?

[@MerryBoozerRC]

not really at some point i might make that video but so fare not yet

[@coolfly7956]

Ok, I'm sold on the ultimate 3d biplane! Ordered and on its way!

[@webbthomas9345]

I know I'm a little late but I have the Timber X and am using the Spektrum 4s 2200s. What flight time would i get with the extra 300 on those with 30% left and would the cg still be good?

[@MerryBoozerRC]

Cg would be good but you’re going to have a short flight time. She is hungry and on the 3200 I get around 3:30 to 4 minutes

[@mikebird8290]

Such a hard choice Wess. Both great planes. For me it has to be the 300 Extra

[@radioflitercairplanes1715]

We're is your CG on the Extra ?

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Love this video. Awesome intro and I like making a guy think aspect of it. I've got both planes and as you do wes I love them both. The best part of my two is that I've got less money into them than 1 of them costs. Thanks to Craigslist score on the ultimate and a swap meet score on the 300. Both were incredible deals and both fly incredible 👍👍😎

[@millerrc5829]

Nice comparison vid on both models personally I would say a 3d hobby shop or extreme flight airframe is where 3d really at but these are great for first time 3d guys thanks for the video.

[@cnnw3929]

The Ultimate looks like it has better landing characteristics in this video. If the Ultimate is similar to flying the discontinued Hangar 9 Tango, the Ultimate may be a better choice between the two.

[@stonegallimore1163]

I love the extra 300 it’s such a powerful plane makes it easy to pull right out of a stall

[@joeys5429]

No doubt the Canadian ultimate is great not sure if its 3D reliable and accurate I flew mine a lot but not sure quick snaps up and down lost aeralons are touchy don’t forget to pin them in never had an extra decided on an edge 540 instead

[@Goseph_Joebbels]

I want both but I’m stuck with grass runways and those back wheels look like the grass needs well maintained….

[@MerryBoozerRC]

Just change them out with Dubro 3inch tires ;)

[@Dinoxt12]

Up-Right Video, thanks...trying to make a decision do I need another plane, liking the Ultimate.

[@MerryBoozerRC]

Me to it’s definitely a fantastic flyer and the wing is nice and short so fits in the car without taking it apart on a biplane that’s a big + for me

Hi, I wisk you a great Thursday... Thank you so much for sharing your video with us, Let's go forward together, best regards! What's new on our channel? I started a new series of videos about "How flight our RC Plane! Lift, Drag, Weight, Thrust forces..." I would like to have your suggestions and tips to improve... be welcome...

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

Looking to get a new plane before next spring, to start practicing some aerobatic routines. Hopefully I can eventually put together a routine to fly to music. I have a Parkzone Extra and a Multiplex Gemini. I LOVE biplanes, but the Gemini doesn't roll on axis, and needs a decent bit of elevator to knife edge... Most of my planes and crawlers all use 2200 3S packs, but I guess a 4S would be OK too. Which of these do you think would be best for scale type aerobatic routines? I fly no 3D, just the type of stuff you'd see at a full scale air show. Thanks for the video, gonna check out the channel now...

[@MerryBoozerRC]

If you want to fly on 2200 got to be the ultimate. The extra really needs to be on a 3000 or bigger

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Merry; What expo are u running on 100% rates?

[@MerryBoozerRC]

20%

[@old-rcplane-phart]

@@MerryBoozerRC MUCH appreciated!!! I been using 35%. May b y it felt sluggish.

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

SWEET. Great flying Wes. This Old Man is past the 3D flying. But I do have the Ultimate2. Ms Lori another awesome video. Love you guys. ✈️😎💝

[@WildBillFlysRC]

That would be my first choice also... after building the great planes ultimate and flying it for years I have to have another one. Some day 🤙 Maybe soon!

[@salinecountyclay8199]

Awesome video but I really liked the intro!

[@WildBillFlysRC]

Oh, nice comparison! Who will come out on top? I think I know

[@justboogieman]

Love the Pilot Wings 64 music 👍😁

[@cwwisk]

Wes, I wanna see you get to the point where you can reverse the throttle and hover on the nose.

[@MerryBoozerRC]

Haha 😂 one day

[@dutchloveRC]

Nice "Flite Club" video

I have both of these planes, 2nd year flying, Fantastic video and GREAT FLYING👍Thanks for sharing, We appreciate your efforts👍 and you gained another subscriber.😀

[@deharttattoo]

Could’ve found all that out of the simulator

[@uravggamer4620]

Let’s face it, if we’re watching this video we’ll probably end up with both😄

[@jasonstickitmoore]

Not a foam fan, but I would buy both these , but I don't want the as3x tech in them. And I don't want to pay extra for it just to tear it out. Want to learn to fly. Fly one rate FULL rate and 40-45 expo across the board.

Love your content, now we need you to get a surface bug to bite ya,, 🤩BB

I’ve had that big a long time there is actually surface content on the channel but our man focus will always be planes. But two weeks ago we did a three day special on surface

Pop it he says, it's flare it ain't no pilot

[@stevehoy1927]

0:56 to skip the cringy timewasting intro :P the rest of the video is great. even the short ender.

[@Dogman21]

If I want to fly like this ill fly a helicopter.lol

[@gisall8205]

I feel so sorry for you that you have to land your beautiful airplanes on such a rough construction Zone. Very sad

[@jordancoleman2402]

The extra 300 is a crap 3D airplane and should not be marketed as one. Bought one thinking i could learn with it but unfortunately it's a brick. If you want to do 3D buy a profile.

[@davidharrison1572]

Lots of expo
