Parkzone Extra 300 Happy Owners Thread
This is a place for people that are generally happy with the Extra 300. The point is to discuss everything about the plane except for Horizon's response to wing deformities.
Lets see some videos, mods, tips, and stories. |

I like the plane It could be a fantastic plane and then I'd be happy but that is up to HH now. Before I flew it I removed the landing gear mount, built a frame inside the fuse and replaced the bracket. Put some carbon fiber in the stabs and fuse to reinforce them. Same things I've done with the other PZ planes. |

I thought about the same thing with the gear. Mine loosened but did not come out. Considering I pancaked it in the field, I thought it was pretty reasonable that the gear loosened. I gorilla glued them and I don't think they will come out again without taking some fuselage. My prop was out of balance from new. Sometimes you can just tell because it's noisy. Anyone check lateral balance on their plane? Seems kinda picky, I know, but I have a Flash that needed a quarter glued into the end of one wing to balance. Whats that I hear???? . . . oh, nooooo complaining. |

You know, there is a problem with the Wing Airfoil, there is. However: You know this airfoil thing is a non issue to me. I just massaged the wing a little and it came out perfect. I trim all my airplanes carefully, none are the way I want them out of the box. People need to have fun with their hobby and the people they fly with. We all have big problems to deal with in our lives that require our attention. Our hobbies teach us skills and other things that help us in our daily lives to be better than other people! |

The gear came loose on mine after an especially hard landing, but no real surprise there. A little glue and I'm back in business.
When I leave the control throws "low" the snap, or whatever you call it during full up elevator is hardly noticeable. I can see the horizontal stab flex slightly when I have the throws all the way to the max. Maybe it's just me, but I really don't feel I need all the deflection available. |

I came to this web site to share information with other people who share a common interest. I enjoy this hobby as it helps me relax and it's something I can do where there is no stress. There are pleanty of places for people to complain. I would really enjoy if there was a post for people who just want to share useful information. I appreciate all the Info about the wing, but if no one told me, I would never have noticed. Ok it's a problem. Let's move on.
