I tested the slow-speed handling at a safe altitude, and there were no surprises. My first snap roll with the Extra was a real eye-opener. The large rudder makes knife-edge flight pretty easy. The roll rate is fast with the recommended throws, so if you don't like a plane that really reacts, cut this throw down some. I performed inside and outside loops that were straight without any rollout.
Inverted flight is very good requiring very little or no elevator.
I don't consider myself much of an aerobatics pilot but feel confident that the Extra 300S is capable of doing anything the pilot tells it to do. Reprinted with permission. Inc. All rights reserved. Do not duplicate or redistribute in any form.
