Status: offline 		Here are some pics of the Radical 330. I haven't accomplished much. I've cut away the center of the wing and masked one side for gluing. I think I will drill the holes for the engine before I glue the wing and the fuse together. That way I can use my drill press. I might drill servo screw holes to simplify construction. Maybe if I mount the conduit for the tail servos I can draw a line though the wing hole to get the curve right where the conduit meets the wing.

Great Job hutchi! Did you make any changes or modifications? I noticed the size of the engine bolts were wrong in the instruction book.

Mount the engine last, then you can position it for correct CG.
You can still use a drill press , just let the nose on the rest and the
fuse & wing hang down while you drill. Thats what I do!

Posted too late!!

Status: offline 		Thanks decay. I'm sure I'll still be nose heavy with that engine. I pushed it back as far as I could. I'll use your suggestion on my next plane. I plan to get EF Yak when they come in.

Here is how a friend of mine eliminated the square tube on a Extreme 300 which is the same plane. I added 4-40 push rods to the elevator and rudder.

I glued the wing in with gorilla glue.

Status: offline 		sorry i dont really know where it is, i dont have the plane with me since i hung it from the roof of the place where i fly during the week. but i guess it is over the recomended cg range. today i shifted a little bit backwards the cg i added a few ounces. i will suggest to start with the recomended range.
