Default RE: Great Planes Extra 330L Build

I finished the wing mounting a couple of nights ago. I was going to use 1 nylon bolt and a peg with a cotter pin in it, but after I finished the first screw hole I decided I may as well use another nylon bolt instead of the peg/cotter pin. I added ply insets for the control horns on the tail surfaces and drilled the control horn holes. I also added ply insets for the stab bolts above and below the stab. I will tap the stab holes per plans, but will use a bolt long enough for me to add a lock nut on the underside. I added two more hinges for the rudder, and bobbed the lower tip of the rudder. The canopy is glued up, but the canopy/fuse gap needs some epoxy/microballoon action. I still need to inset ply for the aileron horns, come up with a tank/electronics tray, route ignition/throttle/choke and then I will start covering and painting. Final colors will be corsair blue, deep red, and white. I think the scheme is a variation of yours. I see it on several different Extras with differing colors.

You fly yours yet?
