I'm not talking about anyone in particular, it's just that they show all this nice stuff on their web sites and then nothing arrives or it's in transit or the company built junk,ETC. Since you brought up EF, If you go way back to the original EF web page when he started he showed an EXTRA then and it has never arrived since and it was shown in 2 sizes. As I said EF builds very nice airplanes.

As I said, they've learned from their mistakes. Now you are digging even further back. Just let it rest and see how he handles the next run. I'm betting he won't even tell anyone they exist until they are ready to ship.

I don't own a single EF product, but I sure do hate to see a guy bashed for one bad judgement call that he made years ago, compounded by a huge streak of really bad luck. The guy is still in the red... and people blame him for it. A bunch of impatient "me me me" guys on here.

I think many here was hoping he was revealing the next 50cc plane, me included. But as we now know it is his next electric that is on the EF web page for like 2 seconds. I think Chris has learned many lessons the hard way, unfortunately for him, so I am pretty confident he would not expose any new planes until they are on the water for the US. He must be saying this electric is on the water!!! I need to get in line for it. [8D]

It has been too long to remember what it looked like. I can only recall that it flew good and when Chris flew it I was thinking it really looked good.

I was there (intranet fly-in Indiana) and the extra looked similar to the KMP rejected ones. I looked for pics but I cant't seem to locate any. I was next in line to fly it but WAYNE GEFFON had it go dead stick in a torque roll and broke it in half. I do remember Chris doing high speed KE flying right on the deck.... IT WAS SWEET! I couldn't wait to get one, unfortanatley I am still waiting.... But I got a Yak and now I am happy....

Hey Guys check this out. The new extra is "On the Water." It has a 45 inch wingspan and shure is sweet looking. I spent all this weekend flying the Electrich 55 SPE by Extremeflight and this one looks to be able to perform with unlimited flight and looks like a good IMAC platform for the size.

Can't wait to see the video.[8D]

It looks good Chris! How many on the boat coming?

See guys, he said he would start whipping those builders into shape in the new year and he has the first new outing.

Ok, back to guessing what the new 50CC release will be. I can't make up my mind if it will be an 89 inch Suhkoi, or a 89 inch Yak 55.

What thinks?

My vote for the 50cc would be for the Extra 300. That electric one looks awesome. A 50 cc size Extra that looks just like that small one would look great. Also, the midwing Extra's fly both IMAC and 3D very well.

Can't wait to see what else Chris has up his sleeves. I'll be happy with whatever comes out as long as they are light.....I'm sure they will be.

I have a dream. That seems fitting today, or was it yesterday. In my dream, I saw an Extra 300 Patty Wagstaff scheme, 1450 sq in- 87" for 50cc size engine. Chris sold 1,000 of them faster than you can shake a stick. I have a deposit on record, & I would get mine in the 1st batch.

I can dream, can't I?

Nuttin wrong with dreaming. Heck how about a 120" version, 105" version and a 87" version to go with that little electric above. I mean as long as we are dreaming anyways.
