When Walter Extra designed his Extra 260 aerobatic monoplane, its success in competition assured that it would become a subject for R.C. modellers and would be manufactured in a variety of scales. There are quite a number of kit manufacturers producing the Extra these days, many of them in an ARF configuration.

The Extra 300S is a single seater with a slightly modified and lower wing seat than the Extra 260 version. The Ilsan Industrial Company, of Korea, has an excellent version of the Extra 300S in a 20% scale (sports scale) configuration and the kit is pre-built to a high stage, as well as being covered in a striking colour scheme. There are still a few fiddly steps required to finish the model completely, but they are very straightforward and should not present any problems to the average builder.
