Matt Carlton Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Hello all, Quick question. Has anyone here built Roy Garner's 60" Extra 230? Extra 230 - Sarik Hobbies Contemplating building one for electric but "back in the day" we did tend to overbuild a touch, so wondering what the build is like. No indication for weight, but I'd guess around 7lb or so. I guess 850W or so as I don't want 3D performance, more "scale aerobatics" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Gorham_ Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I haven't built it, but I do clearly remember the build article in RCME at the time. The designer replicated the tubular metal structure of the fullsize fuselage by using dowel IIRC. So that has to be lighter than slabs of solid balsa.

Alan Gorham_ Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Actually, perhaps I'm remembering his slightly later Extra 300 design. A build was started on this forum a few years ago. You can see the minimal structure I was talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
