wrote: Klein, Thanks for contributing that. Personally I was curious as to what the differences in flying characteristics were and why one aircraft might be preferable over the other in different situations. If you don't mind my asking, why do you own both? Are they different enough (comfort factor aside) that it makes it worth having one of each? Thanks! Shawn At the highest levels of international unlimited competition, just look at what people are flying......it's mostly Sukhoi and CAP. Very few Extras. I can't tell you why because I'm not flying at that level. ;-) I have had the Extra since 1998 and just got the Sukhoi a year ago. I thought that I would just keep them both for a while and see if one or the other ended up neglected in the corner of the hangar. If so, I'd sell that one. So far that hasn't happened. Even if I never take the Extra to a competition again, it is still very useful as a hotrod runabout. Sort of like have a nice Porsche Turbo in the garage for those occassional trips around the neighborhood, while the Sukhoi is really a good bit more specialized on competition and air show work. Hope this helps, Klein |
