WOW!!! What an airplane!!! It flies around so easy and smooth and when you hit the throttle it is an animal. It is nice to have an airplane that is capable of everything.

The Flat Spins on the MX are fantastic. And, the more I fly this puppy the more I need that much power in all my other planes. I've also found that having that much power allows me to keep the nose pointed at the ground more of the time. Punch and Pull with that much power and you can get out of anything with no altitude at all! Love it!!!

The power is just evil, its pure evil guys. The most power I've had on any model. The vertical is unlimited, instantaneous and constant.
ANd the power is great for KE spins!
I'm psyched to fly more, I got all the lipos on the chargers, the MX really opens up a big and fast flight envelope to explore.
Of course with the extra stability of the larger size and the super low wing loading the slow rollers are out of this world. I can imagine the RC Oasis III video featuring BT slow rolling to Champagne Supernova.....................
I love the MX! This thing does slow and low 3d like a GS plane. And the vertical power is phenomenal.
Once you get the CG right and get a few flights in, this thing flies effortlessly.
It's Crystal.

Man, this thing has some serious power. On the climbs faster than most of the hotliners i have seen in the past. And on the other hand it is so light and can be flown really slow.
One thing is for sure: Shaun has set this the bar really really high with this plane. Great looking -3.5 lbs and yet strong- a huge wing - insane power. WOW!

My Maiden flight went very smooth! One click of down two clicks left aileron and she was flying level. Landing was trainer like. High rate rolls assume!
Love it!

Got her done this weekend. I'm guessing around eight hours of build time. Setup is Hitec 5085MGs X 4, Vox 15X7, bling package. I didn't think it was possible to find a plane that I like better than the Ultimate. This is it. Congratulations Shaun, you did it again. This thing flies arrow straight. Point it up, start rolling and it's completely axial.

I thought I'd post to say flights no 2 and 3 are under the belt now. On the recommended low rates it is a dream to fly, stable, predictable and penetrates well. Oh, so smooth! My initial worries about flying this, as my skills are nothing like the guys who have posted video's, were ill founded. I've only used the 14x7 and haven't measured my watts or amps yet but reckon this will be a fun and adaptable plane.

Got my first flight in today. What a great flying plane. Ran it through two sets of packs for 6 minutes to see where my battery use will be. I don't think I've ever had a plane I can snap roll vertical, pretty much unlimited. The Power to weight ratio in this bird is amazing.
It's very neutral balanced at 118, but lands like a pussy cat. We had some really odd wind today, so I didn't get to mess around as much as I would like, it does handle the wind fine, but the air was supper choppy. Charging three sets of packs for tomorrow. Can't wait. This is the first plane I've been excited about since getting into Helis.

Fantastic job PA
This is the best maiden I have ever flown, absolutely zero trim!
First pair of batts I took it fairly easy to get a feel for the MX but by my second flight I managed a knife edge spin first time... easy. Knife edge flight you can do amazingly slow compared to my KMD. Also rolling harriers with the MX I found much easier than with the KMD or my AMR.
Shaun, you've outdone yourself dude! Thanks PA for a beautiful plane!

I just purchased a green Extra MX and love it. The quality, precision, strong and light weight construction is something to admire. I haven't quite finished building it yet but I can tell is is going to be a pleasure to fly.
|
|
| rctc @ RCGroups |
I really like the way it flys.
The thrust motor and esc match up great.

| parker fly @ RCGroups |
State of the art that is! It is refreshing to see that PA not only made it light and strong but they also made it beautiful. Look closely at how the pieces fit together, and you will see the attention to detail that is missing on most arf's and kits today.

| lsnover @ RCGroups |
Fantastic build quality. Attention to detail. Built to fly the snot out of. Maybe that's why Green is popular. ;-) My MX is my favorite plane in this size class.

Just finalized assembly of my ExtraMX with Thrust50, Quantum65,Hitecs and a VOX14x7 w CF Spinner. Sweet machine !
1766grams with 2x2200 Hýperion VX G3 and 45A WOT. That must be over 1KW !

| Nick9000 @ RCGroups |
Presently building an MX, my first PA plane. Love the idea of iPA's, takes the guess work out. First thing I noticed about my model is all that wonderful CF!!
I'm not even finished building the MX and I know I want to add an Addiction to my hanger. Hoorahh!!!

| themaj @ RCGroups |
The new MX is a fantastic airplane it draws unbelievable attention every time I take it out. I love the IPA packages the PA folks put together...always first class in every respect.

Hey guys I would like to chime in here that I had the privilege to fly the new Extra MX and all that I can say is WOW. That thing was just ridiculously cool. Power was second to none. Thanks to Mike Wargo the team pilot I am set out to get one of these aircraft in the near future. The MX was probably the best electric I have flown to date.

| Mark Huffman @ RCGroups |
Just received my Extra MX. I'm very impressed with the quality and can't wait to get it in the air.

| awry @ RCGroups |
I was primarily a heli flyer till I bought my first PA plane which was the Addiction. I've never had so much fun with a plane before and this was that led to to buy the Extra MX. What an awesome plane. I'm having a blast. Just want to thank PA, Herc and Aero and of course the RC Mafia in Malaysia for the planes, videos and inspirations.

since I got the MX I hardly ever fly my 30% plane.
The big plane is just too much of a hassle to haul around and setup, who
needs it when the MX flies so GAS like?!!
Congrats!

I like the way the Extra MX looks when you view it from behind. Something about the way the fat fuse narrows down to the thin little tail just makes me go "woah!".

|
| hercdriver7777 @ RCGroups |
It really is the best 3D plane that I have owned!
|
|
| lamafever @ RCGroups |
I think the 6S design is brilliant and considering of most PA owners, they don't have to invest buying different types of batteries. I've been using 3S packs for my Addiction, AMR and MX and i don't have to spend extra for the batteries. And IPA is the way to go in the long run, a lil bit steep in the initial setup but hey ... i don't have to worry about the performance and all we got to do is fly the plane ..... i've been flying less than a year with PA plane and these planes allow me to learn and do stuffs .... unlike any of my previous planes which has some bad flying behaviour.

Picked up my green MX on Saturday, maidened it on Sunday, Thrust 50, 60a ESC, 4x 5085MG's, CF VG's, spats, spinner and 2 VOX 15x7's. I have never flown anything with that much power to weight, and finesse. what a ship!!! in time maybe i can do it justice lol

| Wadam @ RCGroups |
Right out of the box you could tell the detail and structure was well put together especially considering the task of keeping it so lite.
Although only being a sport flier now having about 20 flights with this plane, it flys very true no matter what angle of attack , has unlimited climb, knife edges are easy, handles cross wind landings with ease, so am look forward to learning 3d in the future.
Well done PA , after showing this off at our field you will be seeing alot more orders coming in from Canada.

| racin06 @ RCGroups |
OK, I maidened my MX successfully! What do I think about the MX? Well, I had never flown a balsa airplane...been flying foam for 18 months ....and I'm very impressed! I also fly helis and we heli pilots talk about how when you have things set up well, the heli flies "locked in" or like "it's on rails." That's how the MX felt to me compared to my foamies.
One thing I will say is the MX glides and floats what seems like forever. Both of my landings were pretty much deadstick. Anyway, I'm stoked!

| SalamSyed @ RCGroups |
MX is one of those planes which actually lands itself and no need to struggle with throttle when you bring it down.

| JEFFRO503 @ RCGroups |
Went out yesterday and flew the living heck out of my little extra MX again.......WOW!....what a nice bird man! I must have around 100+ flights on this thing now , and it always seems to handle every thing i throw at it!
I cringed when i looked at the overall price of everything I payed for , like the airframe , motor and all the electronics.....But i can say now , that it was worth every single penny!
Seriously....this little MX has made me a 5X better pilot on all my bigger gas planes! One awesome little learning tool man! I just can't get enough of this bird!
Put in 7 awesome frickin' flights today with my little 58" extra! No wind what so ever at the field and it was awesome! I felt so "locked in" with that little bird today and honestly felt like i could do anything with it. I rung that sucker out extremely hard today.....and it never missed a beat! Man , this one fun little bird!

This is really the coolest plane I ever had.

| Evel Knievel @ RCGroups |
I got a test flight in on my second MX Saturday (May the first one RIP). Absolutely perfect. It needed no trim at all. I love this plane!
|
|
| PSBeretta @ RCGroups |
I maidened the plane last night and all I can say is WOW! Its all that I hoped it would be and then some. The MX almost lands itself! Its very floaty and I think it feels very locked in.
|
|
| jwcatto @ RCGroups |
AWESOME looking plane. IMO the best LOOKING 3D plane out here.
|
|
| graniteguy @ RCGroups |
I just love the way the MX flys, I just wish I was better at flying it. Installed the CF spinner and wheel pants and they look great. Wing bags are really well made and fit like a glove. mx flies like it is on rails very smooth. Cant belive how slow it will fly, great plane. Now IM going to order the AMR, Im hooked on PA!!!!!!!!!!
|
| Darryl |
I just got the Extra MX, It\'s the best plane ive ever flown!!!! I can\'t get over how well she handles, its scary crazy!!!
|
|
| Joe Bruce |
I really am impressed with the MX's flight characteristics. The guy's at the field were also impressed! I'm not the best 3D pilot but the MX really made me look good. Its the best plane I have flow since getting into RC 10 yrs ago. Most of the planes I fly are sport models, sticks, viper 500/PoleCat pylons, 1/5 CAP 232, Ultrasport, Hyperion Yak profile, Typhoon 2.
