Status: offline 		I just finished up my new Extra this evening. It'll be powered by a Brison 3.2 with a pitts style muffler. I used the hardware from Tom's hardware kit. I have a carbon fiber wing tube. I use a Li-ion 2800 for the ignition and one for the receiver. No choke servo, no pants, no cuffs, and no spinner. That's the way I fly them. It may be stripped down a bit, but it only weighs 15 pounds, 11 ounces.

Thanks Greg. Life sometimes life seems to throw a curve ball from time to time. I'll make the time you have to wait worst though, by saying this plane is really better then I expected!!!! Come up to our field sometime and I'll let you fly mine while your getting your together.
Shaun

Status: offline 		Few more PICs of the interior setup. Single Futabe PCM receiver, 7.4V 2 cell Lithium Ion 4800 Mah pack (16awg lead with Deans), Smart-Fly adjustable Heavy Duty regulator (also equipped with Deans), Smart-Fly Super DSC switch with 18ga input, dual 22ga outputs.
Dubro 24 oz tank, fueler inside under canopy hatch, I did not want to cut another hole in the side of the fuse and always a good idea to do a good check between flights right?!!!

Status: offline 		Looking good Greg.But I bet your going to get real tired of taking off that canopy to fill her up though. What about underneeth where it doesn't show?

Status: offline 		Shaun I thought about having to remove the canopy, just couldnt put another hole in this gorgeous bird LoL. Not a problem at all for me to removed the canopy to refuel, I usually like to take a peak inside every couple flights anyway LoL. If it becomes a pain I can easily put the fueler in normally through the side or out the bottom or such.
Dont know if I can make up or not, will have to see, shoot me an email off forum with the details, I will see what I can do might be a good excuse to get in a motorcycle ride LoL.

Status: offline 		Maybe putting on a hatch latch from BVM could help elleviate the hassle on taking on and off the hatch. Ive put one on my showtime 4d and gosh no more loosing screws, and i can get into the hatch within a click.

Status: offline 		Since I have been waiting on some funds to get the last couple items needed to finish my Extra, I decided against the fueler being inside under the canopy hatch. Put it out the bottom.
Hope to have it finished later today, but alas it hasnt rain but 3 times all summer and now they are calling for rain LoL.
Will post completed weight later.

Status: offline 		Greg, what did you do about getting to the carb mixture screws? I'm about to go drill two holes in my cowl for access to the screws.

Status: offline 		Jim, I actually was not going to drill the cowl, I usually run the engine and set the needles on the ground with the cowling off then install before flight.
I have in the past drilled the cowl, but always seemed like I could never hit the adjusting screws, LoL, so I ended up pulling the cowling anyway.
