This Aircraft is HIGHLY modified. Uses Lanier's Foam cores w/ enlarged control surfaces for better 3D capabilities, but with the pattern like flying qualities of the original. If you've ever seen one framed up, you know it uses the heavy plywood box fuselage. This aircraft's fuselage is built up entirely of 1/8" ply (around the wing tube mount) and 1/8" balsa sheet (every where else on the side of the fuselage) w/ 3/8" sq. balsa throughout. Also no more platic pieces. Has Foam front hatch and turtledeck along w/ a 1 piece fiberglass cowl and fiberglass wheel pants (from precision aviation). Also has a Carbon Fiber Landing Gear(TnT Landing Gear), also have an aluminum stock gear also . Has 1 Hitec 805 servo on the rudder w/ pull pull. All cutouts and extensions are run for the elevator and ailerons. Fuselage is completed and covered, along w/ the tail section complete'd installed, covered and hinge'd. Wings are Sheeted w/ wing tubes installed, and ailerons cutout. Only thing left is to cap the wings and install the hardwood dowl hardpoints. I've also got a Precision Eagle 5.8 Single w/ Slimline pitts style smoke muffler (has slight damage). Things needed to complete are as follows: Canopy (from precision aviation), Radio Equipment (7 servo's, rx, batterys, etc.) C&H ignition, misc hardware and covering. This Extra is built very light, and strong. This is the second one i have built like this, the first one flew great and came in weighting 21 lbs (my buddies built as the kit comes weighed in at 32lbs) w/ 32oz of fuel onboard w/ the exact same engine and radio equipment (Hitec 5945's throught-out w/ 805 on rudder). Could be flying in 1 week. This aircraft will be shipped freight in a 1/4" thick custom made plywood crate. Like most other people, i have a full-time job, so i will get it shipped out ASAP (within 5-7 days). Forgot to mention, that pictures of whatever you need can be supplied, just let me know.

I'm asking $1050, but i'll consider trades for a JR10X, Futaba 9ZAP WC or WCII, or a nice 60-90 size heli.
