THE NEW MOLDED  EXTREME and EXTREME  DS...

The kit as it arrives...

"If I had a choice of only one slope plane for all the places I fly, the
Extreme would be it hands down! It is small enough to fly the tightest
slopes yet can really crank in the big lift. It is seriously durable and has
excellent landing control allowing me to fly the Extreme at places where a
larger plane just will not work. The two-piece wing and removable stab make
it easy to stow. My bagged version was great. The new molded plane is even
better. It goes to every slope I do!"

UPDATES, JANUARY 2004

While demand continues to increase, the success of the Extreme has allowed McComposites to commit to all-out production of models, and wait times are down to under 12 weeks!

The DS Extreme now has even stiffer custom molded spars and control surfaces, and fuse and stab mods for extra stiffness and performance.

The F3F model is has also been upgraded with stiff spars and surfaces, and has been DS'd to 190 mph with no problems.  It now also comes with carbon stabs at no extra charge.

 The Extreme has been flown on radar to 249 mph...

THE WORLD RECORD FOR DS!!!

• The Extreme was designed to be the best high
  performance sailplane available at 78"/2 meter wing
  span. Targeted at entry level F3F slope racing,
  dynamic soaring, and overall high performance slope
  flying.   The intention was to have one plane that does
  all the various slope disciplines reasonably well and
  is fun to fly. The Extreme is not intended to be the
  ultimate slope racer or DS plane but an affordable
  option compared to larger more expensive models. Pylon
  turns, high speed dives and aerobatics on the front
  side, 170 MPH plus DS on the back. Due to its mid-tail
  with elevator design, pitch stability is excellent and
  results in smooth, predictable flight characteristics.
  Unique construction methods insure excellent
  durability, solid flight performance, and stable
  airframe parts. Portability is convenient with 2 piece
  wings and stabs. The airframe is built with high
  quality composite fabrics and epoxies. All parts are
  post cured at elevated temperatures for maximum
  strength and stability. Molds are painted with expensive two
  part automotive paints that are durable, shiny and
  maintainable.
