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.
