Introduction
Before starting the assembly process of your new 34% Extra 300S ARF, Please read through the assembly
manual carefully, and inspect all parts and hardware for imperfections or damage.
The competition series Extra 300S is a highly aerobatic airplane designed and sold by world-renowned
aerobatic RC pilot Chip Hyde who is a multiple USA National, World and TOC champion. This plane is fully
capable of both precision aerobatics and extreme 3-D aerobatics.
The Extra features rapid assembly due to plug-on wings and plug-on stabs that not only make it quick, but
easy and accurate to construct. The wings and stabilizers slide onto pre-fitted tubes and are aligned by pre-installed
anti-rotation pins. There is a minimal amount of gluing and drilling required to complete the assembly. This greatly
reduces the time to assemble and get you to the flying field.
The Extra can be disassembled and broken down into two wing panels, two stabilizer halves and a fuselage
to facilitate transportation in almost any size of vehicle. The larger the vehicle, the less you will need to remove!
Assembly at the field is greatly simplified with easy access to the inner fuse wing retention and. One ball-
wrench, a flat blade screw driver, a couple of minutes of assembly and a tank of 2-cycle gas will get you into the air.
The plane is designed for gas motors in the 100-cc category. The recommended motor is the DA 100 that is
shown in the assembly instructions. The final choice of power plant is left up to the builder.
A computer radio is recommended for the Extra. This is primarily so the Pilot can take advantage of the full
capabilities of this plane.
Intended use
This plane should not be regarded as a toy. This is an advanced aerobatic plane and is recommended for pilots who
are well beyond the trainer-stage and are comfortable with flying at least an aerobatic sport plane.

Beginning Construction of the
Competition Series Extra 300S
TIGHTENING AND RE-SHRINKING THE COVERING
Open your kit slowly and take care not
to damage any parts of the kit. Remove all
parts from their plastic protective covers for
inspection. Before doing any assembly or
installation of any decals it is very important
to re-shrink or re-tighten the already applied
covering. Due to the shipping process, heat
and humidity changes from different
climates, the covering may become lose and
wrinkle in the sun. If you take the time to re-
tighten the covering, you will be rewarded
with a long lasting beautifully covered
model.
Using your covering iron with a soft
sock, gently apply pressure and rub in the
covering. If any bubbles occur, your iron
may be to hot, reduce heat and work slowly.
If bubbles persist, using a small pin, punch
holes in the bubble to relieve trapped air and
reheat.
After you have tightened up the
covering, it is time to start the assembly of
your Extra 300S.

WING ASSEMBLY
1) Locate the pre cut hinge slots in the
wing and aileron. The model comes
with CA style hinges pre installed, but
not glued into the control surfaces. We
have used the provided CA hinges with
no problems. Hinge ailerons by first
pushing a T pin through the center of all
CA hinges. Make sure that slot in hinge
runs perpendicular to hinge line. This
allows CA to wick to the back of the
hinges.
Hinge Slot
2) Next, slide hinges into aileron slots, then
slide aileron onto wing making sure all
hinges go into their slot. Also, keep the
hinge line as tight as possible.
3) Be sure to leave a 1/16” gap between the
wing and the aileron at the root end to
avoid binding.

4) Next, place 4-6 drops of thin CA on
each side of all hinges. We also
recommend using a clear covering to
seal all control surfaces.
5) Locate servo locations on bottom side of
wings. Note: the pre cut slots in the
Extra are for the new Futaba 9152
servos. These servos are a little bigger
than standard size therefore, if you are
using standard size servos, we have
provided laser cut servo trays that can
easily be glued into place to
accommodate standard servo size.
6) If using the provided standard sized
servo trays, simply glue in place on top
of the pre-existing tray with either CA
or epoxy. Make sure the tray is all the
way down sitting flat against the pre-
existing tray.
