Extra 330LX 3m

Even though this Extra 330LX seems to be very similar to its predecessor with just a longer canopy and a little bigger control surfaces, by no means this is the case. It is a completely new design, where almost nothing bases on something which had been done before. This Extra is a real REVOLUTION in the Large Scale Aerobatic Market, something never done before, something so special and so different that it was a real risk to start this project in the first place - because many told us that what we were trying to do was impossible. Boy were they wrong! The CARF-Models 330LX is actually defying gravity and inertia. We wanted to create a competition machine with all the advantages of a composite airplane like rigidity, durability, incredible stiffness, strength and an immaculate, 2K painted surface, but get rid of the disadvantages such as higher weight, more sluggish behavior, more inertia and CG problems with light engines and long tail moments. All this would be covered by facilitating the lightest way of attaching control surfaces and moving all servos as closely to the CG as possible. Even if that meant to move the elevator servos forward in the fuselage and the aileron servos to the inner wing spare. You can plug the elevator and rudder servos into the receiver without an extension lead, that meant that there's no way to move them closer to the CG. The aileron servos need a short extension inside the fuselage to connect the servos to the receiver. This Extra330LX 3m is the father of our younger Extra330LX 2.6m... Both of them are Gamechangers!
