![]() This powers an LED light ribbon throughout the hollow wing panel to the tip where additional high intensity LED’s are added. There is an added wire harness that exits the wing root that connects to a “Y” harness from the battery balance port. A screw is inserted from the underside of the wing root on each wing panel to lock the wing half into position. The wing fastens in a similar way with carbon carry through spar and self alignment as the wings bottom out as they are fitted on each side of the fuselage. Clear tape is added to secure each half to the fuselage. Each stabilizer half slides into position and self aligns as it bottoms out in a plastic cuff on either side. With the wheels installed the carbon carry through horizontal stabilizer spar slides into receptacle in the tail. The tail wheel fits in a slot in the bottom of the rudder and is secured with a cover plate and three screws. The spring wire main gear fits into a slot on the belly of the fuselage and secures by fastening a cover plate with four screws. The QQ Extra 300 is an injection molded foam fuselage with two part horizontal stabilizer and two part wing. I had to take a bit of material off the SFG’s to get them to fit nice and flush without rubbing against the LED’s. One thing that I got from my conversation with Quique was his passion for producing planes that performed beyond expectation and bringing the hobbyist to the next level. ![]() Weight is somewhat critical on a 3D plane and unnecessary weight can really affect the performance. This brought on another question for Quique… “How come there are not lights in the fuselage and tail?” With that question it was explained that it was more a concern about performance then lighting. The QQ Extra Night is basically the same as the previous QQ Extra 300 except has lighting in the wings. The Aura 8 can make novices fly like intermediates, intermediates fly like experts and experts fly like Pros. The gyro does help maintain the attitude of the plane, but that’s as far as it goes. The Aura 8 is specifically designed to act as an aide to bring ones flying to the next level. I was pretty blunt and posed the question: “a 3 axis gyro in a plane … really”? With that he went on to explain that the Aura 8 AFCS is not a head lock gyro system. I was fortunate to have met Quique Somenzini at the Toledo expo this spring. The high end digital metal gear servos provide some serious muscle on the control surfaces and they keep them where you want them while rumbling through extreme 3D maneuvers.Įach wingtip is loaded with high intensity LED’s … perfect for reflecting light back from the SFG’s to the fuse. ![]() The Potenza 10 motor might not sound like a lot, but it has plenty of grunt and when combined with the HW SkyWalker ESC, it is a perfectly matched power system for the QQ Night Extra.It helps transitioning pilots slide into the more difficult maneuvers while giving seasoned pros the stability they might need while pushing the model to its limits. The Aura 8 is really the secret sauce behind the performance of the QQ Extra.Whether you’re just looking to break into the ranks of 3D, are looking to dazzle club members with ever progressing routines or are a pro who needs an outlet to toss your thumbs at on the off days, the QQ Night Extra 300 is just what you need. ![]() A lightly loaded airframe for optimum 3D performance backed by a host of electronic genius transforms this Extra into a would-be aerobatic thoroughbred.The brains of the QQ Night Extra … the Aura * and those potent MG servos. SERVOS: (4) Potenza DS19 Digital metal gear Long Throw ServoįCS: Aura 8 Advanced flight control system 3 axis gyro > Can’t use sub trims when setting up radio > Lights enable better orientation after dark NEEDED TO COMPLETE: Minor shop tools, receiver, radio and battery pack. Though not labeled a full on night flyer, there is more than enough light for exhilarating night flying! The QQ Night Extra is a proven airframe, except with the additional benefit of LED lighting in the wings. The Aura 8 incorporates a 3 axis gyro system that can help you achieve your flying goals regardless of experience. A beautifully detailed foamy 3D thoroughbred that is rewarding regardless of skill level.
