Flying Tips and Repairs

Flying
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your ParkZone
Extra 300 BNF. It is ideal for you to fly at a sanctioned flying
field. If you are not flying at an approved site, always avoid
flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should
also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many
people, such as busy parks, schoolyards, or soccer fields.
Always follow local ordinances. We recommend only flying
your Extra 300 in light winds.
The Parkzone Extra 3oo is a high performance aircraft. Full
power should only be used for vertical climbs. Avoid high
power settings in dives or tight turns.
Takeoff
Choose a large open area with a smooth surface for takeoff.
Face the nose of the aircraft into the wind. Slowly apply
3/4 throttle and let the aircraft get up to flying speed while
steering with the rudder and tailwheel. Hold up the elevator
at the start of the takeoff roll to keep the tailwheel in contact
with the ground until enough airspeed has been reached
that the rudder becomes effective. The tailwheel will lift
off the ground. Move the elevator to neutral while speed
increases to prevent the aircraft from becoming airborne too
quickly. Gently apply a small amount of up elevator and let the
aircraft climb to a desired altitude.

Landing
Start the landing approach by reducing throttle to 1/4 or less
to slow the aircraft. Fly the aircraft down to about 1–2 feet
above the runway. Slowly reduce power until the throttle is
in the off position. Apply up elevator as the aircraft settles to
the runway. The Extra can do a main landing gear landing, or
two-point landing, where the aircraft touches down on the
main wheels first and the tailwheel is off the ground. The Extra
300 can also land in three-point attitude when all three wheels
touch the runway at the same time.
Repairs
Thanks to the Extra 300 Z-Foam™ construction, repairs to
the foam can be made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue,
regular CA, epoxy, etc). When parts are not repairable, see the
Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number.
Due to the Z-Foam™ construction of the Extra 300, the
wing can flex to absorb flight loads during hard positive
or negative G forces. This is more noticeable during hard
maneuvering, but is normal.
