I flew an Extra 300 in Honolulu. Amazing aircraft. I was delighted with the light stick pressures similar to a Pitts Special. Of course, it has an incredible roll rate. The front seat is as blind as can be though. You see nothing but Wing when you look down unless you're knife edge or inverted. Easy to land and take off although fast on approach.

Wow, watched this video yesterday and had to come back today to watch that cloud surfing part back. This is what I imagine a fighter jet would feel like to fly, except that this one is slightly more attainable than an actual jet. Would love to see more videos with this one!

@@mattmurph good to hear! Maybe one day...if they made a model with bigger weels and flaperons for some light bushflying (only stuff like landing on beaches etc) and a retractable undercarriage I would completely burn the 2ct remaining on my bank account on that. I know, a slightly cursed idea of a plane, but yeah :D Loved that video! There are far to few good videos about cool planes out there, compared to the mass of e.g. car videos.

Nice video. 👍🏼😎 Do you know why (as far as I know) the Extra 330 has won most of the aerobatics championships and no Zivko Edge 540? Is it because the Edge is an experimental, and not allowed to compete? How does the Edge 540 compare to the Extra 330 in aerobatics? The Edge should have a higher roll rate and better climb performance, at the Red Bull Air Race the Edge has dominated. 🤔

How do the Aspens hold up to acro? Now do the Maul!
@mattmurph3 жыл бұрын
Hey Will! The aspens will tumble a bit after a fast roll. The attitude and moving map will get turned around a bit. However, they come back to their senses typically in less than 10 seconds. For me, not much of an issue since going inverted in IMC is not going to happen, or really.. I would never fly that plane into IMC.
@gleesmj Жыл бұрын
awesome insight. i love these planes but I doubt I'll ever own one. do you typically use full power on take off? i imagine it must be tough to man handle 300hp on such a light frame
@mattmurph Жыл бұрын
Eventually yes. You roll into half power at the start, make sure you are stabilized and on centerline, then smoothly roll in full power. Tail will come up almost immediately, then just hold a slight pitch up attitude and you'll lift off by about a 1000' of ground roll.
