I was just given a version of your old kit from a guy that bought if down at the Joe Nall from you this year... There are a few things I wanted to address to see if I am just crazy or if its just the design. First there is no thrust in the firewall, or the cowl. Also the motor doesn't mount in the center of the box. So did I get a bum plane that was just a lemon? Also I needed to know the CG on it because he told me to balance on the tube with the wings off but that is real tail heavy when I fly it like that....

I just bought an older 35% Extra 330 PAK kit from a guy who started the fuse but did not finish it. I have managed to get the construction manual but was wondering if there are plans for this plane that show more detail thatn the manual.

Anyone have a picture of the bottom of the fuse where the landing gear is attached on an Extra 330 35% that I could see?

Thanks.

Al,

I did find out one more picture I need if you have it. That is a picture of the landing gear plate at the rear without covering. Thats the part of the plans that I have that is smeared.

Thanks.

Bruce,

There should be a solid hardwood block about 3 " x 3" it square and 3/8 " thick. That is the Tailwheel plate. You will nedd to shape it to the taper of the fuselage. The Basss wood stringers will mate up to the front of it.

I'll have kevin search the pictures and see if we have one we can send

Al

Thanks Al. I received the fuse in about a 95% stage of completion without much of the wood. Also it appears that there are some mistakes which I can see now that I have a good copy of the plans that I received from you today. One example is the firewall. The plans state that it should be 3/8 Birch and mine is 1/4 Birch and is not assembled according to the plan. There is no Landing gear plate so I am going to have to fabricate my own. Most of the workmanship is good but it is obvious that the person had never flown large planes.

I appreciate you help. Its great to see a manufacturer support his product.

Hi Bruce,

The LG plate is 1/4 inch and should not be to much of a problem to fabricate. It mounts to each side. You will need to support each end and around the motor box with some tri stock. Tail wheel plane can be easily made also using the same material.

The 1/4 plate on the firewall is usable. I suggest you use some light weight fiberglass cloth and resin to glass it in. That will be strong enough if you do that.

When you set up the root rib on the wing you need to epoxy the phonolic into the wing. It probably is just a tight fit right now. Also check the tapper of the root rib on the fuselage. You may have to trim it to match before gluing on the root rib.

Our email address is jtec@earthlink.net If you need to get directly in touch with us
