Which Should You Buy: Extra 300 or Extra 330?

Bottom line: Choose the Extra 330 for the sharpest competition performance (lighter ailerons, higher roll rate); choose the Extra 300 for a slightly more forgiving, lower-cost unlimited aerobat. 330 = competition edge; 300 = value/forgiving. ================================================================ # CROSS-REFS ================================================================ - Pitts/Sukhoi/Game Composites mirrors in those files. Extra 200 = entry monoplane aerobat (vs Super Decathlon step-up).
