RE: Ace Extra 230 33% Fiberglass
A few weeks ago I picked up a used Extra 230 \ 30% with an FLT 45 inside (advertised here on RCU). Have spent a few days fixing things up and just tested the engine - sounds very strong. The guy I bought this from had an Top Flight 22x6-10 prop on it - seemed a bit large for this engine and plane (not much ground clearance, either). I'm going to do my initial flights with a Xoar 20x10. This is a handsome airplane - though the wings seem a bit long for the fuse size - guess that's the designe. Still, very nice. I'm happy with the plane so far, plus I got it for a decent price. I'm now working on a better way to anchor the canopy. Should do my maiden with it this week and will post results and some pics.
