The hanger 9 330S cowling fits perfect but you will have to repaint to match the 330L trim

RE: hangar 9 Extra 330L
I now have both the hangar 9 extra 33% 330L and 330S the wings, horizontal stabs, rudder, canopy and hatch all seem to fit both fuselages. The Extra 330S seems to weigh less. I will way it when I am done setting it up.

Hanger 9 or maybe it was Horizon told me the canopy of the 330S would not fit the 330L, doesn't matter to me at this time, because I took another expensive route, but would have like to known for sure the 330S would have worked.

RE: hangar 9 Extra 330L
I am not sure if the canopy alone from the 330S would fit the hatch for the 330L. I will check later tonight. I do know that the hatch with canopy from the 330S does fit the 330L. I ordered the 330S hatch and had to lower it to match the height of the cowling on the 330L I thought it was just a change they might have done between the L and S but now I have both the L and S and found that the replacement hatch doesn't fit either airframes without modifying the height. I haven't called Hangar 9 about it yet but plan to later this week.
hicks what was the "expensive route" you decided to go with?

RE: hangar 9 Extra 330L
Well, I am embarrassed to say, you ask so here it goes, I fell into a old 330L (cheap), the covering half stripped off and the canopy was all dented torn and beat up, after kicking around restoration, I recovered it, so I had to have a new canopy, of course they are discontinued, shopping around just couldn’t find one so I found the 88” Extreme Flight Extra 330, they don’t sell just the canopy only the hatch with canopy, no where else to turn I took a chance and ordered it, to find the hatch is much bigger in width (¼” overhang both sides) and height, (1/4” to tall) really no good way to modify, so I carefully took the canopy off to find it was to big and had to cut it up, finished looks great, no one will know. But the cost was 49.99 + 17.50 shipping; (they ask 25.00 restocking charges for returns)

Well if you fell into the 330L cheap and all worked out good then its all good. Do you have any pictures of the canopy installed? I picked my Extra 330L up crashed and traded a used DX6 transmitter with one reciever. It was a great deal the damage was minor and I learned allot in the rebuild trying to keep the weight down. Plus it was my first gasser...
